Question juridique clé
Whether the cantonal court had to hear the appellant and obtain a fee note before fixing party costs
Solution extraite
No. The cantonal court was not bound by the counsel's claimed fee and could set party costs without requesting a cost note.
Motifs extraits
Under Art. 61 lit. g ATSG, the court sets costs itself; refusing to take a fee note does not in principle violate the right to be heard.
