Questão jurídica principal
Whether the cantonal court's fee assessment for the appointed lawyer was unlawful or arbitrary
Decisão extraída
The fee award fell within the cantonal court's wide margin of appreciation and was not arbitrary.
Fundamentação extraída
Fee determination in cantonal proceedings is governed by cantonal law; federal review is limited to arbitrariness. The case was relatively simple to average, no particularly difficult legal questions arose, and the lower court could exclude work done before the administrative decision and assess post-filing work conservatively.
