Questão jurídica principal
Whether the lawyer breached his duty by not recommending an appeal against the seizure-release order.
Decisão extraída
The lawyer's conduct could not found liability because an appeal would have been futile and could not improve the clients' legal position.
Fundamentação extraída
Under the applicable cantonal procedural law, the appellate authority would have dismissed the appeal for lack of sufficient interest; thus the omitted advice concerned an objectively useless remedy.
