Question juridique clé
Whether the cost order of CHF 375 for KESB proceedings should be overturned because the appellant claimed indigence and relied on a legal-aid request.
Solution extraite
No. The appellant failed to comply with his duty to cooperate and the belated legal-aid form could not justify reopening or changing the cost order.
Motifs extraits
The form was not filed at the competent authority in time, no pending case existed before the Administrative Court when it was sent there, and the appellant did not submit the requested documents to the KESB by the extended deadline. The authority therefore had no duty to investigate indigence further.
