Questão jurídica principal
Whether the compensation for defense costs under Art. 400 ch. 1 CPP/BE was arbitrarily calculated.
Decisão extraída
No. The cantonal court could assess the fee globally by determining the reasonable working time and applying the standard hourly tariff; the result was not arbitrary.
Fundamentação extraída
Under arbitrariness review, the Federal Court found it permissible not to verify each billed task individually and to deny an extra complexity supplement because the case was not extraordinarily laborious.
