Kernrechtsfrage
Whether legal aid and counsel should be granted for the state liability proceedings.
Extrahierter Entscheid
Legal aid was properly refused because the underlying damages and satisfaction claim appeared hopeless.
Extrahierte Begründung
Even assuming Bernese law allows equitable liability for lawfully caused damage, the applicants still had to establish the remaining elements, especially adequate causation. The cantonal court could consider that a possible interruption of causation by the foreign child-protection authority would defeat liability, so the prospects of success were poor.
