Key legal question
Whether the applicant could use public-law appeal against the cantonal refusal of free legal aid in the hardship-permit procedure.
Extracted holding
Public-law appeal was excluded because no legal entitlement to the permit existed and the issue fell under the same exclusion.
Extracted reasoning
A hardship permit under Art. 14 AsylG does not confer a right to a residence permit; therefore Art. 83 lit. d no. 2 BGG barred public-law appeal, including on legal-aid issues under the unity of proceedings.
