Key legal question
Whether legal aid covers the advance for an expert reappraisal under Art. 9(2) VZG in foreclosure valuation proceedings.
Extracted holding
No. The right to legal aid under Art. 29(3) BV does not extend to this reappraisal procedure, because the valuation in the realization phase does not threaten the loss of a right or an impermissible interference comparable to other protected proceedings.
Extracted reasoning
The expert valuation is only of subordinate importance in the realization phase and does not serve the same protective functions as in attachment proceedings. The debtor is not exposed to over-attachment or a comparable rights deprivation, so the state need not waive the advance.
