Questão jurídica principal
Whether the refusal of cantonal free legal aid for the tax appeal violated Art. 29(3) BV or was arbitrary under cantonal law.
Decisão extraída
No. The appeal lacked sufficient prospects of success, so denying free legal aid and requiring an advance did not breach the constitutional minimum or cantonal law.
Fundamentação extraída
The court agreed that the assessments matched the legal inheritance share and the applicant raised no concrete error in the amounts. The later death of the mother did not affect the relevant tax years. The proposed provisional assessment rules did not apply to the periodic taxes at issue.
