Key legal question
Whether the subsidiary constitutional complaint was admissible against the cantonal decision denying legal aid
Extracted holding
Yes. The refusal of legal aid was an interlocutory decision capable of causing irreparable harm, and the subsidiary constitutional complaint was the proper remedy because the civil dispute did not meet the ordinary appeal value threshold.
Extracted reasoning
Interlocutory refusals of legal aid can cause irreparable prejudice under Art. 93(1)(a) BGG. The appeal route follows that of the main action; because the underlying labour dispute did not reach the required value, only the subsidiary constitutional complaint was available.
