Key legal question
Whether the cantonal court's award of party compensation of CHF 22,000 was arbitrary or otherwise contrary to federal law.
Extracted holding
The award was not arbitrary and did not violate federal law; the complaint was dismissed.
Extracted reasoning
Review was limited to arbitrariness. The cantonal court could consider the case complex but still reduce the claimed hours. The hourly rate of CHF 250 fell within federal limits and reflected consistent cantonal practice. The compensation exceeded twice the normal maximum rate, so the result was defensible.
