Reimbursement of overnight accommodation costs for mandatory defense counsel during revision proceedings
Legislator-Zusammenfassung
KI-generiertThe Federal Court of Justice (BGH) Second Criminal Senate granted a mandatory defense attorney's application for reimbursement, fixing the maximum necessary overnight accommodation costs at 100 EUR for main hearing attendance on October 23, 2024. The dispute concerned whether these expenses were requisite outlays for a counsel whose appointment under § 143 Abs. 1 StPO remains in effect during the revision procedure, including the upcoming trial. The court ruled that the claimed costs were necessary for the proper safeguarding of the defendant's interests, applying the standard that requisite outlays are those without which the appointed lawyer cannot act competently, and determined that 100 EUR represented a sufficient amount for a mid-class hotel according to the guidelines in § 46 Abs. 2 RVG.
