Grant of legal aid for constitutional review based on financial hardship and non-frivolousness

The Administrative Court dismissed the plaintiff's complaint against the Federal Constitutional Court's refusal to grant legal assistance, thereby upholding the lower court's ruling in favor of the defendant authority. The dispute concerned a plaintiff's application for state-funded legal representation in a proceeding before the Constitutional Court, which was denied on the grounds that the applicant failed to demonstrate sufficient financial hardship or the likelihood of success required for such assistance. The decisive legal basis rested on the Federal Constitutional Court Act, specifically the provisions governing the granting of legal aid, which stipulate that free representation is contingent upon the applicant's inability to bear the costs of litigation and the absence of frivolous claims.
