Questão jurídica principal
Whether the appeal against the interim refusal of full legal aid was directly admissible.
Decisão extraída
The refusal of legal aid was an interim decision, but it was not shown to cause irreparable legal disadvantage and the statutory conditions for direct appeal were not met.
Fundamentação extraída
No court fee advance was required in the social welfare appeal proceedings, so the refusal of legal aid did not prevent access to the appeal. Counsel had already filed the necessary submissions and even waived additional remarks, so no further disadvantage was demonstrated.
