The court granted the appeal against a denial of judicial aid, ruling that the right to challenge such decisions is absolute. The applicant argued for financial support based on presumed economic insufficiency, while the opposing party likely contended the case value was too low for review. The court decided in favor of the applicant by affirming that Article 39 of the relevant decree mandates an appeal right irrespective of the monetary value involved.
