Key legal question
Whether the asserted attorney-fee claim was sufficiently made credible for arrest purposes.
Extracted holding
No. The court held that the alleged fees were covered by legal aid compensation and the debt claim was therefore not sufficiently credible.
Extracted reasoning
The appellant failed to substantiate his assertion that only a reduced state payment had been awarded. On the established facts, the earlier proceedings had been fully compensated under legal aid, so an additional private fee claim was improbable.
