Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the refusal of legal aid violated Art. 29 para. 3 Cst. because the applicant was deemed not indigent.
Decisione estratta
No constitutional violation was shown; after correcting two expense items, the applicant still had enough monthly surplus to finance the proceedings within one year.
Motivazione estratta
The court held that indigence depends on the overall financial situation at the time of the request and that current, actually paid obligations may be considered. Even after including medical expenses and a higher allocation for adverse-cost reimbursement, the disposable surplus remained sufficient.
