Questione giuridica chiave
Whether failure to submit the requested documents for exemption from the cost advance can be treated like non-payment of the advance
Decisione estratta
Yes. A party who does not provide the evidence needed to assess indigence is to be treated the same as a party who does not pay the cost advance.
Motivazione estratta
The court held that the applicant bears the burden of substantiating and proving financial inability. Without disclosure of income, assets, and obligations, indigence cannot be examined; the legal-aid request must therefore be rejected.
