Question juridique clé
Whether the cantonal suspension order in the victim-assistance cost-coverage appeal was admissible and lawful.
Solution extraite
The suspension was permissible because the pending criminal legal-aid decision was prejudicial and the appellant suffered no violation of timely adjudication or victim-assistance law.
Motifs extraits
A suspension is exceptional but allowed for sound reasons. The criminal court's decision on legal aid assessed the same prospects of success relevant to subsidy under Art. 3(4) OHG, and the cantonal authorities could rely on it. Given the circumstances, the procedure remained compatible with the OHG and Art. 29(1) BV.
