Key legal question
Whether the cantonal court arbitrarily applied local rules by requiring payment of the CHF 300 advance despite the legal-aid request
Extracted holding
The cantonal court's interpretation was not arbitrary; the legal-aid decision did not relieve the appellant from the previously requested advance.
Extracted reasoning
The relevant rule provisonally suspends payment only while the legal-aid request is pending and, if granted, exempts only advances covered by that request. Since retroactivity was refused and the aid decision was limited, the appellant remained bound to pay the advance.
