Question juridique clé
Whether the appeal against the refusal to appoint replacement ex officio counsel was admissible despite the case having advanced to judgment.
Solution extraite
The appellant lacked a current practical interest, and irreparable legal harm was not shown.
Motifs extraits
The challenged interlocutory decision concerned trial defense in a proceeding already concluded at first instance; any complaint about the absence of ex officio counsel could be raised against the conviction on appeal, and future requests for counsel in appellate proceedings would be separately reviewable.
