Key legal question
Whether the detention judge committed a formal denial of justice by failing to decide the request for appointed counsel and deadline extension.
Extracted holding
Yes. The request for free legal representation had to be addressed separately; section 12 GSG did not cover it, and the judge left the motion unresolved.
Extracted reasoning
Once the judge concluded that no party compensation and no state compensation could be awarded under section 12 GSG, he still had to rule on the pending request for free legal aid and the related request for a time limit to file financial documents. Omitting this amounted to a failure to adjudicate and violated Article 29 BV.
