Questão jurídica principal
Whether the renewed request for appointed counsel and legal aid in case 1B_435/2011 should be granted after the awarded party compensation was offset against court costs.
Decisão extraída
Yes. The request had to be granted because counsel remained unpaid once the compensation was offset, so payment from the federal court funds was still owed.
Fundamentação extraída
Under Art. 64 BGG, counsel is entitled to an appropriate fee from court funds if the work cannot be covered by the awarded party compensation. This also applies when the opposing party offsets that compensation against its own claims, because counsel then receives no fee. Since the fee had already been set in the main case, counsel could demand payment.
