Four Afghan appellants challenged the Federal Office for Migration's asylum and removal decision of 18 May 2006. The Federal Administrative Court dismissed the appeal. It granted the appellants' request for free legal aid under Art. 65(1) VwVG and ordered that no procedural costs be charged.

Omnilex headnote

Art. 65 Abs. 1 VwVG; unentgeltliche Rechtspflege in administrative appeal proceedings: where the statutory conditions are met, the court may grant legal aid and waive procedural costs. In asylum appeal proceedings, the court may dismiss the appeal and, independently of the merits, decide on legal aid and cost consequences in the dispositive part. The granting of legal aid entails no allocation of court costs to the applicants (consid. not specified in the excerpt).
