Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the refusal of free legal aid / court-appointed representation in the cantonal unemployment-insurance appeal was lawful.
Decisione estratta
The refusal was lawful because the case was not shown to involve such special factual or legal difficulty that legal representation was necessary or appropriate.
Motivazione estratta
Although the suspension in benefits was a significant interference, it was not so serious as to automatically require counsel; the record showed the insured was able to state her case herself, and the arguments raised by the non-lawyer representative added nothing material.
