Questão jurídica principal
Whether a lawyer from another canton may be appointed as legal aid counsel in Solothurn only if a formal reciprocity agreement exists with that canton.
Decisão extraída
No formal reciprocity agreement is required; it is sufficient that the other canton in fact grants reciprocity.
Fundamentação extraída
Section 9(1) EG ZPO speaks only of reciprocity, not of a reciprocity agreement. The court followed Federal Supreme Court case law and held that out-of-canton lawyers may be appointed when reciprocity is actually practiced, subject to the general requirements of legal aid.
