Question juridique clé
Whether legally aided appellants could be ordered to pay cassation costs without violating cantonal legal-aid rules or Art. 29(3) Cst.
Solution extraite
Legal aid exempted them only from advancing or paying costs while indigence persists; it did not prevent the cantonal court from allocating costs to them, but the dispositive could not authorize forced collection without safeguards.
Motifs extraits
Art. 7 let. a of the Geneva legal-aid regulation does not bar a cost order; however, under Art. 29(3) Cst., reimbursement may not be enforced as long as the beneficiary's financial situation does not allow it. The cantonal judgment lacked any indication of such a safeguard.
