Key legal question
Whether legal aid for the withdrawn public-law appeal should be granted
Extracted holding
Yes. The request met the requirements of Article 152 OG, so legal aid was granted and counsel was appointed ex officio.
Extracted reasoning
The underlying dispute ended without a decision on the legal-aid request. The challenged decision appeared defective and was annulled by the cantonal appellate authority. Access to a cantonal remedy was also uncertain, which justified granting legal aid.
