Kernrechtsfrage
Whether legal aid should be granted for the deadline-restoration proceeding
Extrahierter Entscheid
The proceeding was not hopeless; legal aid had to be granted subject to review of indigence.
Extrahierte Begründung
Because the applicant’s hospital stay made it plausible that he bore no fault, the request for restoration had arguable prospects. The lower court assessed hopelessness too narrowly.
