Key legal question
Whether the appeal in public law matters was admissible despite the immigration dispute and the interlocutory legal-aid decision.
Extracted holding
The appeal was admissible because the legal-aid refusal was an interlocutory decision causing irreparable harm; the underlying residence-permit issue was left open.
Extracted reasoning
A refusal of legal aid tied to a required advance of costs can be challenged immediately. The court did not need to decide definitively whether an enforceable residence-right existed.
