Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the refusal of free legal representation in the pending public-law employment appeal was an appealable interim decision causing irreparable harm.
Decisione estratta
The refusal was an interim decision that could cause irreparable legal harm because further steps in the proceedings still required legal assistance, especially the right to file comments in reply.
Motivazione estratta
A denial of legal assistance normally does not cause irreparable harm if it does not affect the conduct of the case, but it does where the later course of the case still requires actions by counsel. Here the grant of a reply opportunity made representation potentially necessary.
