Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the cantonal court violated the right to be heard by reducing billed hours without explanation when fixing compensation under Art. 429(1)(a) CPP.
Extrahierter Entscheid
Yes. When departing from a detailed fee list, the court had to briefly explain which items it considered unjustified so the party could challenge the decision effectively.
Extrahierte Begründung
The cantonal court cut almost 7 hours from a 14h42 list of operations without giving reasons, aside from a vague reference to two phone conferences. This insufficient reasoning breached the right to be heard and required remittal.
