Key legal question
Whether the filing had to be treated as a constitutional complaint rather than an administrative court appeal
Extracted holding
The filing was treated as a constitutional complaint because the refusal of legal aid was based solely on cantonal procedural law with independent significance.
Extracted reasoning
The subsidiary nature of the constitutional complaint did not bar review because the dispute concerned only legal aid under § 16 VRG/ZH, not a matter sufficiently linked to federal administrative or criminal execution law.
