Key legal question
Whether the appellant committed attempted coercion by causing a baseless debt-enforcement measure to pressure his former counsel.
Extracted holding
The debt collection notice was unlawful and substantially interfered with the respondent's freedom of action; the offense remained at the attempt stage because the respondent was not intimidated.
Extracted reasoning
The notice had no valid basis and was used as pressure to deter the lawyer from claiming unpaid fees. This constituted an illicit coercive act within the meaning of Art. 181 CP, combined with attempt under Art. 22 CP.
