Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the federal appeal against the cantonal decision on legal aid was sufficiently reasoned and admissible
Extrahierter Entscheid
The appeal was inadmissible because the appellant did not properly address the reasoning of the cantonal judgment and did not set out a sufficient federal-law challenge in the appeal itself.
Extrahierte Begründung
The Supreme Court held that an appeal must explain, with reference to the challenged reasoning, which rights were violated; constitutional complaints are examined only if expressly raised and reasoned. References to submissions made below do not substitute for an appellate reasoning. The appellant also attacked the non-final cantonal judgment and relied on a new tax assessment, which was barred as a new matter.
