Key legal question
Whether the appeal against denial of legal aid was admissible despite being a cantonal interlocutory decision
Extracted holding
The appeal was admissible because the refusal of legal aid could cause an irreparable legal disadvantage and the value in dispute exceeded the statutory threshold.
Extracted reasoning
A refusal of cost exemption is a final cantonal interlocutory decision. Such decisions normally cause irreparable harm, especially where a party must litigate without counsel.
