The Supreme Court dismissed the applicant's appeal concerning the entitlement to legal aid for costs in the asylum screening procedure. The applicant argued that the screening process was too complex to be covered by legal aid, while the state contended that the procedure is standard and does not require special assistance. The court ruled that the screening procedure is a routine administrative step and therefore does not meet the criteria for legal aid coverage under the relevant regulations.
