If the attorney's remuneration is not determined by a contract on provision of legal services, it is governed by the relevant provisions of the Decree of the Ministry of Justice no. 177/1996 Coll., Attorney's tariff, as amended. In addition to the remuneration, the attorney is entitled to reimbursement of cash expenses and compensation for missed time.
