Key legal question
Whether the federal appeal against the incidental order refusing legal aid was admissible.
Extracted holding
The appeal was admissible in principle because the refusal of legal aid may cause irreparable harm and the underlying matter concerned a potentially claimable residence permit.
Extracted reasoning
A denial of legal aid generally satisfies the irreparable-harm requirement under Art. 93(1)(a) LTF. Since the underlying dispute concerned a possible entitlement under Art. 43 LEtr, the public-law appeal exclusion did not apply.
