Key legal question
Whether a costs appeal is admissible in a disciplinary proceeding modeled on criminal procedure.
Extracted holding
Yes. Because the disciplinary procedure is structurally similar to a criminal investigation, the criminal-procedure remedy against cost decisions applies by analogy.
Extracted reasoning
The Responsible Liability Act leaves the matter open; the disciplinary procedure uses criminal-law terminology and investigative tools, so a further analogical application of the StPO is justified. Under § 199 StPO, an appeal lies against refusal or allocation of costs, and this remedy should also be available here.
