Question juridique clé
Whether the refusal of cantonal legal aid violated Art. 29(3) BV because the applicant proved indigence
Solution extraite
No. The applicant failed to document his current basic needs, income, and assets clearly enough; relying on his available liquid funds was constitutionally permissible.
Motifs extraits
The court held that the burden lies on the applicant to disclose and substantiate all relevant financial circumstances. On the incomplete record, the cantonal court could deny indigence and expect payment from liquid assets without breaching Art. 29(3) BV.
