Question juridique clé
Whether the denial of legal aid violated Article 29(3) and Article 9 of the Federal Constitution because the applicant was deemed not indigent.
Solution extraite
No. The applicant had not proven his financial situation with the necessary completeness, and the authorities could require him to use part of his income from board fees to pay litigation costs.
Motifs extraits
A legal-aid applicant must fully disclose income, assets, and supporting documents. A self-prepared list without proof is not evidence. Given the applicant's multiple income sources and recent substantial fees, the cantonal authority could deny indigence without arbitrariness.
