Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the fee assessment for appointed counsel was arbitrary because the invoiced work was allegedly excessive or merely secretarial.
Decisione estratta
The fee assessment was not arbitrary; the authority could reduce the claimed hours to the work reasonably required and was not limited to counting only secretarial time.
Motivazione estratta
The court held that it may review the claimed time, exclude unnecessary work, and compare it with the concrete complexity of the case. The file showed numerous communications, conferences, and genuine drafting work; the appeal was not a simple case. The appellant's complaints about how counsel performed the mandate could not be examined in this fee review.
