Key legal question
Whether the refusal of legal aid for the cantonal appeal proceedings was correct under Art. 117 ff. ZPO
Extracted holding
The appellant did not credibly show that he lacked the necessary means; the refusal of legal aid was therefore upheld.
Extracted reasoning
The cantonal court could reasonably doubt the asserted low salary based on the employment contract and surrounding circumstances. The Federal Court found no arbitrary fact-finding and held that the challenge mostly attacked the cantonal assessment in an appellatory manner.
