Extrait par Omnilex
The applicant challenged the court officer’s refusal of advisory legal aid for the matter “Q../. B.” The Bochum Local Court treated the challenge as a permissible reminder and allowed it. It found that the applicant had now sufficiently substantiated his financial need. The possibility of seeking interim relief before the social court did not replace lawyer’s advice: pursuing that route without legal assistance was not reasonable for an ordinary person in the applicant’s position. The refusal was set aside, advisory legal aid was granted for the stated matter, and out-of-court expenses were not reimbursed.
§ 6(2) BerHG; availability of interim relief before a social court and the reasonableness of obtaining legal advice. The possibility of seeking provisional judicial protection does not, by itself, exclude entitlement to advisory legal aid. The relevant question is whether the alternative can reasonably be pursued by the applicant without a lawyer. Where doing so would be unreasonable for an ordinary person in the applicant’s circumstances, that procedural possibility is not an adequate substitute for legal advice. The applicant must also sufficiently substantiate and make credible the need for assistance.

Dokumenttyp: Beschluss
Spruchkörper: 52. Abteilung des Amtsgerichts
Normen: §§ 11, 24 a RpflG, § 6 Abs. 2 BerHG
hat das Amtsgericht Bochum durch den Richter am Amtsgericht
am 12.10.2007
b e s c h l o s s e n:
Auf die Erinnerung des Antragstellers vom 1.6.2007 wird unter Aufhebung des Be-schlusses der Rechtspflegerin des Amtsgerichts Bochum vom 8.5.2007 dem An-tragsteller für die mit Antrag vom 27.2.2007 geltend gemachte Angelegenheit „Q../. B.“ Beratungshilfe bewilligt.
Außergerichtliche Auslagen werden nicht erstattet.
Gründe:
Die als zulässige Erinnerung gemäß §§ 11, 24 a RpflG; § 6 Abs. 2 BerHG zu wer-tende Beschwerde vom 1.6.2007 ist begründet.
Dem Antragsteller ist Beratungshilfe zu bewilligen, weil er seine Bedürftigkeit nun-mehr ausreichend dargelegt und glaubhaft gemacht hat. Die Möglichkeit der Inan-spruchnahme von vorläufigem Rechtsschutz vor dem Sozialgericht ist keine Alterna-tive zur hier erfolgten Beratung durch einen Rechtsanwalt, weil dies einem Normal-bürger wie dem Antragsteller ohne anwaltlichen Beistand nicht zumutbar ist.
Whether the applicant qualified for advisory legal aid for the matter “Q../. B.”
The applicant qualified because he sufficiently substantiated his financial need, and pursuing interim relief in the social court without a lawyer was not a reasonable alternative.
The applicant had adequately established his need. A layperson could not reasonably be expected to pursue social-court interim relief without legal assistance instead of receiving advice from a lawyer.
Whether the applicant should receive reimbursement of out-of-court expenses
Out-of-court expenses were not reimbursed.
