Question juridique clé
Whether the appellant's legal-aid request was admissible despite refusal to prove indigence.
Solution extraite
The request was inadmissible because it was abusive: it was made only to avoid the advance-on-costs order without any intention to establish indigence.
Motifs extraits
A legal-aid request used solely to defeat a deadline for advancing costs constitutes an abuse of rights under Art. 5(3) of the Federal Constitution and does not stop the effects of the cost-order.
