Questão jurídica principal
Whether the debtor was entitled to free legal aid for the bankruptcy proceedings after an insolvency declaration.
Decisão extraída
A debtor who declares insolvency is entitled to legal aid for the opening and, in principle, for the bankruptcy proceedings only if there are realizable assets and the request is not hopeless; where no realizable assets exist, legal aid is refused as hopeless.
Fundamentação extraída
The court followed its recent case law and held that legal aid may cover the advance on costs, but the proceeding still requires a minimum prospect of implementation. If the file shows no realizable assets, the bankruptcy would have to be suspended immediately for lack of assets, so the request lacks prospects.
