Key legal question
Whether the federal complaint against the cantonal refusal of legal aid was admissible as an interim decision
Extracted holding
Yes. The refusal of legal aid was an interim decision that could cause irreparable harm; the civil-law appeal route was open because the main case was a pecuniary dispute above the statutory threshold.
Extracted reasoning
A denial of legal aid in the appellate proceedings is an interim decision under Art. 93(1)(a) BGG. The appeal follows the remedy available in the main case, which was a pecuniary civil dispute exceeding the value threshold.
