Key legal question
Whether the cantonal court arbitrarily limited compensation for lawyers' fees to 10,000 CHF
Extracted holding
No. The Geneva rule allowed a capped equitable indemnity, and no exceptional circumstance justified departing from the ceiling in this case.
Extracted reasoning
The detention was relatively short, the case was straightforward, and the cantonal court's application of the statutory maximum was consistent with Geneva law and not arbitrary in result.
