Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the insured person was entitled to free legal assistance in the administrative objection proceedings
Decisione estratta
No. The case was a normal unemployment-insurance matter; the relevant facts and legal questions were not exceptionally complex, and a lawyer was not required.
Motivazione estratta
Under Art. 37(4) ATSG, administrative free legal aid requires need for counsel. The dispute centered on the register status, effective departure from the company, and financial participation, which an average insured person could address without a lawyer. The official investigative principle did not lower the strict threshold.
