Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the cantonal court correctly denied legal aid because the appeal against civil commitment was hopeless.
Extrahierter Entscheid
Yes. The Federal Court held that the cantonal appeal had little chance of success, since the release resulted from Art. 397a(3) ZGB and no indication showed it was caused by the appeal.
Extrahierte Begründung
The applicant did not meaningfully engage with the cantonal reasoning, and the release from the clinic did not imply that the appeal was promising. The chances of success were clearly lower than the risk of losing.
