Constitutional complaint legal aid: Waiver of installment payments and court-appointed counsel

The German Federal Constitutional Court (First Senate, Second Chamber) granted legal aid without installment payments and appointed a counsel for the complainant in a constitutional complaint proceeding (Case 1 BvR 3031/08). This procedural order resolves a request for representation, with no substantive merits or prior instance judgments addressed in this decision. The ruling rests on the procedural law governing constitutional complaints and the statutory framework for legal aid (Prozesskostenhilfe), ensuring the complainant’s access to court by waiving fee obligations and assigning a specific lawyer.
