Questão jurídica principal
Whether the cantonal court acted arbitrarily in treating the legal-aid request for the appeal as a new request requiring current financial substantiation.
Decisão extraída
The cantonal court did not act arbitrarily; a new request for legal aid in the appeal proceedings could be decided separately and required proof of current financial circumstances.
Fundamentação extraída
Under Lucerne practice, the request for the second instance was a new procedural request, not a reconsideration of the first-instance request. A separate decision was therefore permissible, and the applicant failed to substantiate current indigence.
