Questão jurídica principal
Whether the cantonally reduced fee for court-appointed representation was arbitrary or otherwise contrary to federal law.
Decisão extraída
No. The cantonal court’s assessment of the objectively necessary work was within its discretion and not arbitrary.
Fundamentação extraída
The matter was legally and factually simple; the file was not especially extensive; the written submissions and additional medical inquiries justified only a limited amount of compensable work. The reasoning in the cantonal decision was sufficient.
