Question juridique clé
Whether a legal person may obtain legal aid under Article 29(3) Cst. in the present circumstances.
Solution extraite
The company did not meet the narrow exception reserved in case law for legal persons; legal aid was refused.
Motifs extraits
Legal aid is based on social solidarity toward natural persons. For legal persons, only a strictly reserved exception may apply if the sole asset in dispute and economically entitled persons lack resources. The company failed to prove these conditions, and its founder cannot alternate between economic unity and legal duality.
