Key legal question
Whether the subsidiairy constitutional complaint was sufficiently reasoned to be heard
Extracted holding
No. The pleading did not identify any violated constitutional right or explain, with the required reasoning, why the first-instance judge allegedly violated such rights by applying the cantonal sanction for non-payment of the filing fee.
Extracted reasoning
In a constitutional complaint, the Federal Tribunal examines only alleged constitutional violations that are specifically invoked and substantiated. The appellants challenged neither the refusal of legal aid in time nor the procedural sanction in a constitutionally reasoned manner.
