Key legal question
Whether the public-law appeal was admissible against the cantonal refusal of legal aid in a state-liability dispute
Extracted holding
The appeal was admissible because the underlying claim was a matter of public law and the refusal of legal aid caused an irreparable disadvantage.
Extracted reasoning
The character of the claim depends on the plaintiff's allegations, not on the cantonal procedure. A refusal of legal aid combined with an advance-of-cost order normally creates an irreparable harm.
