Non-admission of constitutional complaint and denial of legal aid for lack of prospects of success in challenging refusal of legal assistance

The Federal Constitutional Court (First Chamber) dismissed the constitutional complaint and rejected the applicant's request for legal aid and appointment of a counsel, as the intended proceedings lacked sufficient prospects of success; the decision is final and without further reasoning under § 93d para. 1 sentence 3 of the Federal Constitutional Court Act (BVerfGG). The dispute involved a challenge to a lower court’s denial of process costs, with the constitutional complaint raising a complaint regarding the refusal to grant legal assistance. The decisive legal basis was the requirement under the BVerfGG that legal aid be granted only where the legal action has a sufficient chance of success, and the standard for non-adoption of constitutional complaints where admissibility or substance does not meet the threshold for judicial review.
