Questão jurídica principal
Whether the hopeless appeal justified denial of free legal assistance and compensation for appointed counsel.
Decisão extraída
Because the appeal was wholly unfounded, free legal assistance could not be granted for the appeal proceedings; unnecessary procedural acts are not to be remunerated.
Fundamentação extraída
Under § 106(2) ZPO, legal aid is unavailable where the proceeding is hopeless. Unnecessary procedural acts do not create a compensable entitlement.
