Question juridique clé
Whether the cantonal refusal of appellate legal aid was lawful because the appeal lacked prospects of success.
Solution extraite
Yes. On an overall assessment, the appeal's chances were clearly lower than the risk of failure, so legal aid could be refused.
Motifs extraits
The bank had directly informed itself about the claimant's situation and the risks of the strategy; the claimant did not show a plausible breach of duty by the bank. The appellate arguments did not make success more likely than failure.
