Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the refusal of free legal aid was lawful because the applicant had not sufficiently shown indigence.
Extrahierter Entscheid
The refusal could not be upheld on the stated grounds; the lower court should have made further inquiries into the applicant's financial situation.
Extrahierte Begründung
The file contained no indication of third-party support, and the 2010 tax assessment together with illness and prolonged exam preparation at least indicated possible indigence. The appellate court's presumption of third-party maintenance was unsupported.
