Questione giuridica chiave
Whether a child under guardianship is entitled to free legal counsel in paternity and maintenance proceedings despite having an appointed guardian.
Decisione estratta
An appointed guardian does not by itself exclude the need for free legal counsel; entitlement depends on the circumstances of the case.
Motivazione estratta
Need for counsel is assessed under the general Art. 29(3) BV criteria. Officious proceedings and the guardian's experience may matter, but there is no automatic bar due to the lack of a lawyer guardian or the existence of official investigation.
