Art. 41 BGG · Unfähigkeit zur Prozessführung
Ist eine Partei offensichtlich nicht imstande, ihre Sache selber zu führen, so kann das Bundesgericht sie auffordern, einen Vertreter oder eine Vertreterin beizuziehen. Leistet sie innert der angesetzten Frist keine Folge, so bestellt ihr das Gericht einen Anwalt oder eine Anwältin.
Die vom Bundesgericht bezeichnete Vertretung hat Anspruch auf eine angemessene Entschädigung aus der Gerichtskasse, soweit sie ihren Aufwand nicht aus einer zugesprochenen Parteientschädigung decken kann und die Partei selbst zahlungsunfähig ist. Die Partei hat der Gerichtskasse Ersatz zu leisten, wenn sie später dazu in der Lage ist.
