Questão jurídica principal
Whether the refusal of legal aid was justified because indigence was not made credible.
Decisão extraída
Yes. The applicant did not plausibly show that she lacked the means to fund the appeal.
Fundamentação extraída
The cantonal court could rely on the applicant’s bank assets and the unexplained minimal decrease in available funds over two years, which suggested undisclosed income or assets. The Supreme Court found no arbitrariness in that assessment.
