Key legal question
Whether the refusal of cantonal legal aid was compatible with Art. 29(3) Constitution.
Extracted holding
The cantonal court did not act arbitrarily and properly denied legal aid because the underlying appeal lacked sufficient prospects of success.
Extracted reasoning
The prior tax judgments on the same debt issues were directly relevant; the taxpayers did not show that the cantonal court ignored decisive elements or exceeded its summary review at the legal-aid stage.
