Key legal question
Whether the insured person could appeal the amount of compensation for his appointed counsel before the Federal Supreme Court.
Extracted holding
He lacked standing to challenge the fee award; only the appointed counsel could appeal in his own name.
Extracted reasoning
Unentgeltliche legal aid creates a public-law relationship between the state and counsel. The party has no protected interest in increasing counsel's fee, since any extra amount would only affect a possible reimbursement obligation toward the state.
