Key legal question
Whether the appellant was entitled to legal aid for the federal appeal
Extracted holding
Legal aid was refused because the appeal lacked prospects of success; the question of financial need was left open.
Extracted reasoning
Under Art. 64(1) LTF, legal aid requires both indigence and non-frivolous claims. The appeal was considered manifestly inadequately reasoned under Arts. 42(2) and 106(2) LTF, as it did not engage with the reasons given by the cantonal president.
