Question juridique clé
Whether the cantonal court correctly denied unentgeltliche Rechtspflege for lack of indigence
Solution extraite
The denial was lawful because the claimant's financial situation, including liquid assets and household circumstances, did not justify a higher protected reserve.
Motifs extraits
The court accepted a CHF 10,000 reserve from total bank assets of CHF 18,580.05. The couple was young, the husband had stable net income of about CHF 5,800 per month, pension protection existed, and at least one car could be sold. The appellant's references to possible medical and dental costs did not show a concrete need for a larger reserve.
