Decisão extraída
The cantonal court could deny compensation because the applicant’s polypragmatic medical practice was causally connected to the opening and length of the criminal proceedings.
Fundamentação extraída
The Federal Court held that the conduct established as contrary to law under Art. 56 LAMal was naturally and adequately causal for the investigation and its consequences; the cantonal court’s reliance on the prior costs ruling was not arbitrary.
