Questão jurídica principal
Whether the subsidiary constitutional complaint was admissible against the cantonal fee decision.
Decisão extraída
The complaint was admissible because only the fee allocation was contested, the amount in dispute did not reach the ordinary appeal threshold, and the lawyer had her own legally protected interest in the compensation decision.
Fundamentação extraída
An officially appointed lawyer is paid directly by the state and cannot obtain additional payment from the represented party; therefore she may challenge the fee determination in her own right.
