Grant of legal aid for revision instance under § 119 Abs. 1 Satz 2 ZPO

The Federal Court of Justice (BGH) granted the plaintiff's application for legal aid for the appellate proceedings in the revision instance under Section 119(1) Sentence 2 of the Code of Civil Procedure (ZPO), rejecting the excess portion of the application and ordering the appointment of a specific attorney; the decision does not address the substantive merits of the underlying dispute but resolves the procedural request for funding defense in the highest court. The case involved a civil dispute where the plaintiff sought state-funded legal representation to contest a prior judgment in revision, necessitating the determination of whether the appeal had sufficient prospect of success or objective justification. The operative legal basis is the provision on legal aid for the revision instance (§ 119 Abs. 1 Satz 2 ZPO), which permits the court to provide assistance for appeals to the BGH if the matter is not devoid of merit, thereby allowing the plaintiff to proceed with their challenge despite financial constraints.
