Omnilex summary

The Federal Constitutional Court granted the complainant legal aid without installment payments for her constitutional complaint. It also appointed attorney L... as counsel to safeguard her rights. The decision is a procedural aid ruling; it does not address the merits of the constitutional complaint. The relevant lower-court proceedings were before the Hamburg Administrative Court and the Hamburg Higher Administrative Court.

Omnilex headnote

§ 22 Abs. 1 S. 1 BVerfGG, § 114 S. 1 ZPO, § 121 Abs. 2 ZPO; legal aid in constitutional complaint proceedings and appointment of counsel. Legal aid is to be granted if the personal and economic prerequisites and sufficient prospects of success are met, and if the matter does not appear frivolous. Where counsel is required to safeguard the applicant’s rights, appointed counsel must be designated under the rules on legal aid. The decision on appointment follows the need for effective legal protection and is made within the discretion structured by the statutory prerequisites; installment payments may be dispensed with if the conditions for full legal aid are met.
