Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the appeal against the refusal of legal aid was admissible and whether the constitutional right to legal aid was violated
Extrahierter Entscheid
The appeal was admissible, but the refusal of legal aid did not violate Art. 29(3) BV because the paternity challenge was hopeless on the established facts.
Extrahierte Begründung
The Court held that a legal aid request fails when the underlying action has very poor prospects. On the fixed facts, the appellant learned of the DNA result in September 2009, yet the health impediment was only established up to October 2009; thus the delay until June 2010 was not excused.
