Key legal question
Whether legal aid should be granted for the public-law appeal under Art. 152 al. 1 OJ.
Extracted holding
No; the public-law appeal was prima facie hopeless, so legal aid was refused.
Extracted reasoning
The alleged violations of the right to be heard and arbitrariness were not sufficiently substantiated or did not appear likely to succeed; a reasonable litigant would not have pursued the appeal at own expense.
