Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the deletion of the lawyer-register entry for lack of capacity under Art. 8 and 9 BGFA was lawful
Decisione estratta
The deletion was lawful because the applicant was found to lack the legal capacity required for registration, and deletion is mandatory once a registration condition ceases to exist.
Motivazione estratta
The court held that legal capacity is assessed concretely with regard to legal practice. Based on the medical record, the applicant was not fit for hearings or direct court work and was unable to represent clients carefully and diligently. Temporary incapacity does not prevent deletion when the court finds incapacity to be of indefinite duration. No proportionality review is required because Art. 9 BGFA makes deletion mandatory.
