Question juridique clé
Whether the compensation under Art. 429 para. 1 let. a CPP must be limited by a reduced canton-wide hourly rate in Vaud.
Solution extraite
The compensation must reflect the usual defense costs in the canton of Vaud; a reduced rate based only on court practice is not sufficient.
Motifs extraits
Art. 429 CPP requires full reimbursement of usual and reasonable defense costs. In Vaud, the relevant benchmark is the usual tariff derived from Art. 45 LPav/VD, not an internally reduced judicial practice or tariffs from other cantons or federal regulations.
