Legal aid denied in constitutional complaint for lack of subsidiarity

Omnilex summary

The Federal Constitutional Court’s Second Senate Chamber rejected the applicant’s request for legal aid and appointment of counsel for an intended constitutional complaint. It held that the planned complaint had no sufficient prospect of success because the subsidiarity principle had not been observed. The order is final and non-appealable.

Omnilex headnote

§ 114 Abs. 1 sentence 1 ZPO; legal aid in constitutional complaint proceedings requires sufficient prospects of success. Such prospects are lacking where the intended constitutional complaint does not satisfy the subsidiarity requirement of § 90(2) BVerfGG. The Chamber may therefore refuse legal aid and appointment of counsel without further examination of the merits.

Key legal question

Whether legal aid and appointment of counsel should be granted for the intended constitutional complaint.

Extracted holding

The request was denied because the intended action lacked sufficient prospects of success; the subsidiarity requirement had not been satisfied.

Extracted reasoning

Under Section 114(1) sentence 1 ZPO, legal aid requires adequate prospects of success. Those prospects were absent here because the constitutional complaint did not comply with the subsidiarity principle under Section 90(2) BVerfGG.
