If the accused is wholly or partly acquitted or if the proceedings against the accused are abandoned, he or she is entitled to:
compensation in accordance with the table of legal fees for expenditure incurred in the appropriate exercise of his or her procedural rights, whereby the compensation awarded shall correspond to the fee in the table of legal fees for a private defence;
compensation for the financial losses that he or she incurs due to the required participation in the criminal proceedings;
satisfaction for particularly serious violations of his or her personal circumstances, in particular due to deprivation of liberty.
The criminal justice authority shall examine the claim ex officio. It may require the accused to quantify and substantiate the claim.
If the accused has appointed a defence lawyer of his or her choice, the defence lawyer shall have an exclusive right to the compensation under paragraph 1 letter a, subject to any accounts to be settled with the client. The defence lawyer may contest the decision on compensation using the appellate remedy admissible against the final decision.276
