Questão jurídica principal
Whether the refusal of cantonal legal aid violated Art. 29(3) BV because the appeal was not hopeless.
Decisão extraída
No. Given the circumstances, the cantonal appeal had no realistic prospect of success, so legal aid could be refused.
Fundamentação extraída
The delay complaint lacked merit because the department had objectively justified reasons to await the outcome of recusal proceedings and related remedies before deciding the underlying appeal.
