Question juridique clé
Whether the cantonal refusal of free legal aid for the appeal against the guardian change was unconstitutional because the appeal had prospects of success.
Solution extraite
The cantonal court did not violate Article 29(3) BV by treating the appeal as hopeless and refusing free legal aid and counsel.
Motifs extraits
The Federal Court deferred to the cantonal prognostic assessment, found no arbitrary disregard of relevant factors, and held that the appellant's submissions were largely appellatory. The challenge did not show that the legal position was tenable enough to make the appeal non-hopeless.
