Key legal question
Whether the public law appeal against the fee award for ex officio defence had become moot
Extracted holding
The appeal had become moot because the cantonal court clarified that the challenged amount concerned only the appeal proceedings and the remaining fee would be fixed later.
Extracted reasoning
All participants agreed that the attacked decision no longer had practical effect once the scope of the 210-franc indemnity was explained; the Federal Court therefore removed the case from the docket.
