Question juridique clé
Whether the cantonal court's compensation award for the lay representative was unlawful or arbitrary
Solution extraite
The appellant failed to show any legal error or arbitrariness in the cantonal court's assessment of hours and hourly rate.
Motifs extraits
The Federal Court relied on the lower court's reasoning under Art. 109(3) BGG. It held that the representative was not a lawyer, that university lectures alone did not matter, that the VGKE was inapplicable, that the claimed preparation time and travel time were not convincingly challenged, and that study of doctrine and case law is generally not compensable for lay persons except in extraordinary legal questions.
