Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the renewed request for legal aid in the Federal Supreme Court proceedings should be granted after the awarded costs were partly set off by the canton.
Extrahierter Entscheid
The renewed request was granted because the statutory conditions for legal aid were met and the awarded compensation did not cover counsel's fees in full.
Extrahierte Begründung
Under Art. 64(2) LTF, appointed counsel is entitled to appropriate compensation from the court treasury when party costs do not cover fees. This also applies where the liable party offsets the costs award against claims it has against the assisted party; the respondent was indigent at the relevant time.
