Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the refusal to appoint free legal counsel in the initial detention review violated the constitutional right to legal assistance.
Decisione estratta
Yes. The case involved factual and legal complexities that made legal assistance necessary already at the first detention review.
Motivazione estratta
Because of the interaction between asylum and immigration proceedings, the uncertainty around the enforceability of removal, and the impact on proportionality and Convention compliance, a lay detainee could not effectively defend his interests without counsel.
