Question juridique clé
Whether the appeal against the cost-advance order remained justiciable after the appellant's request for legal aid
Solution extraite
The complaint had become moot because the request for legal aid had to be decided first, which removed the basis for the challenged cost-advance order.
Motifs extraits
By filing the legal-aid request, the appellant effectively sought relief that must be addressed by the first instance before any cost advance can be enforced; the challenged order therefore no longer existed as an appeal object.
