Lump-sum fee for private counsel in revision proceedings under § 42 Abs. 1 RVG: doubling statutory maximum due to procedural complexity
Sintesi Legislator
Generato dall'IAThe Federal Court of Justice (BGH) ordered the payment of a lump-sum fee of €3,400 to the private defense counsel, establishing that the counsel prevails in the fee assessment dispute. The case concerned the determination of professional fees for a lawyer engaged to rebut the public prosecutor's appeal against an acquittal by the regional court and to participate in the revision proceedings. The court applied § 42 Paragraph 1 of the Professional Fees Act (RVG), holding that due to the complexity of the revision proceedings, the statutory fee was to be doubled, resulting in a payout equivalent to double the maximum statutory rate for a private counsel in such instances.
