Question juridique clé
Whether the refusal of appellate legal aid was justified because the appeal lacked prospects of success.
Solution extraite
Yes. The appeal was properly assessed as having no meaningful chance of success, so legal aid could be refused.
Motifs extraits
The alleged tacit lease with the defendants was implausible; at most a sublease existed, which did not bind the owners. The evidentiary complaint also lacked specificity and did not warrant broader witness-taking rights.
