Question juridique clé
Whether the refusal of legal aid was permissible because the claim was hopeless.
Solution extraite
The claim was not hopeless; the lower court applied too strict a merits assessment at the summary legal-aid stage.
Motifs extraits
A polydisciplinary main report supported a probable causal link, while a psychiatric subreport did not. This conflict made the prospects not clearly worse than the risks; the merits and possible need for an expert report had to be clarified in the main proceedings.
