Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the appellant was indigent enough for unentgeltliche Verbeiständung in the cantonal proceedings.
Decisione estratta
The cantonal court did not violate federal law by finding that the appellant had not shown indigence; the assessed income surplus allowed payment of legal fees within a few months.
Motivazione estratta
The lower court could rely on the evidence submitted, reject unproven private debts, and disregard new factual allegations and documents first raised too late before the Federal Court. Even if car and travel costs were considered, a sufficient monthly surplus remained.
