Omnilex summary

The Düsseldorf District Court granted the respondent procedural legal aid and appointed counsel T, effective 27 February 2018. It applied the application principle: legal aid may be granted only after a formally compliant application reaches the court. Any retroactive effect generally reaches back only to that formal receipt date, so the order did not grant aid for an earlier period.

Omnilex headnote

§ 114 Abs. 1 sentence 1 ZPO; temporal effect of procedural legal aid: Under the application principle, legal aid may be granted only from the date on which a formally compliant application is received by the court. Retroactive effect is limited to that date; further retroactivity is generally excluded.
