Question juridique clé
Whether the cantonal courts rightly refused legal aid because the action lacked chances of success.
Solution extraite
Yes. The underlying action was plainly unlikely to succeed, so legal aid could be refused under Art. 29(3) Constitution.
Motifs extraits
The claim was based on an insurance contract and was subject to the two-year limitation period of Art. 46(1) LCA. The insurer's termination did not change the legal nature of the contract or the claim. The action therefore appeared hopeless.
