Question juridique clé
Whether the cantonal court could deny legal aid for the appeal as hopeless
Solution extraite
The refusal could not stand because the cantonal decision did not contain sufficient reasoning on the prospects of success, especially on causation.
Motifs extraits
The assessment of hopelessness under Art. 29(3) BV must be based on a reasoned, reviewable prognosis. The lower court merely referred broadly to files and did not identify the passages or explain why proof of causal link and injury would likely fail.
