Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the cantonal courts unlawfully refused free legal aid in the tenancy dispute because the claims were allegedly not hopeless.
Decisione estratta
The refusal was lawful because, on the appellants' own presentation, the prospects of success were sufficiently weak to qualify the proceedings as hopeless.
Motivazione estratta
The appellants did not establish that they were parties to the lease, nor did they provide concrete facts supporting a lease, sublease, or contract for the benefit of a third party. The cantonal court could therefore assess the case as hopeless before taking evidence.
