Key legal question
Whether the refusal of legal aid for the civil damages action was lawful because the claim lacked prospects of success
Extracted holding
The refusal was upheld because the action appeared manifestly weak in light of serious breaches of loyalty and fidelity that could justify immediate dismissal.
Extracted reasoning
Under Art. 29(3) Cst., legal aid may be refused when a reasonable party would not litigate; the cantonal court was entitled to consider the newly revealed misconduct as decisive for the prognosis.
