Key legal question
Whether the refusal of legal aid for precautionary evidence violated Article 29(3) BV because the request was not hopeless.
Extracted holding
The complaint fails because a precautionary evidence request under Art. 158(1)(b) CPC requires at least a plausible concrete substantive claim; none was even sufficiently alleged.
Extracted reasoning
The applicant did not substantiate any claim of negligence or damage. Without a concrete enforceable claim, there was no protected interest in clarifying prospects, so the cantonal courts could treat the request as hopeless.
