Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the husband's legal aid and appointed counsel should be withdrawn because his conduct was wilful.
Decisione estratta
Yes. The court held that a party who unexcusedly fails to appear at the main hearing and then remains unreachable is litigating wilfully and loses entitlement to legal aid.
Motivazione estratta
The relevant conduct is that of the party, not counsel. The husband had no contact with his lawyer, did not disclose his whereabouts, and did not even inquire about the hearing outcome. Such disregard for one's own case constitutes wilful litigation and excludes legal aid under § 106(2) ZPO.
