Legislator summary

AI generated

The County Administrative Court dismissed the applicant's request for legal aid regarding foreign fatherhood proceedings. The applicant argued for free trial assistance, but the lower court determined the request did not fall under the general legal aid act. The court upheld the decision because the applicant lacked a domicile in the region and failed to apply for legal aid before the foreign legal costs became due.

Rättshjälpsnämnden avslog sökandens anhållan om rättshjälp

för vidtagna åtgärder i faderskapsmål utomlands, eftersom

sökanden inte anhållit om rättshjälp före det blivit aktuellt

att betala advokatarvodet utomlands och då sökanden inte hade

hemort i landskapet. Länsrätten ansåg att fråga inte var om

sådan rättshjälp som avsågs i 1 § 1 mom. lagen om allmän

rättshjälpsverksamhet, utan ansökan avsåg anhållan om fri

rättegång. Besvären förkastades, eftersom nämndens beslut

inte kränkte besvärandens rätt.
