Questão jurídica principal
Whether the refusal to enter into the cantonal nullity appeal amounted to a formal denial of justice or excessive formalism
Decisão extraída
No. The cantonal court’s reasoning on lack of standing was not excessively formalistic and did not amount to a formal denial of justice.
Fundamentação extraída
A non-entry decision is a denial of justice only if its reasoning is excessively formalistic. Here, the cantonal court limited standing to cases where the challenged legal aid prevents security for costs; the appellant, as defendant in an alimony action, was not deprived of such a right in any event.
