Art. 111 Law on Administrative Judicial Proceedings (LAJP) - Conditions and Scope

1. Upon application, the administrative authority or the administrative justice authority exempts a party from the obligation to pay costs, and any advances or security, if the party

a) does not have the necessary means, and

b) their legal request does not appear to be without prospect of success.

2. Under the same conditions, an attorney may also be appointed to a party if the factual and legal circumstances justify it.

3. Legal aid may be granted retroactively, in whole or in part, from the beginning of the proceedings before the authority dealing with the case. It does not exempt the party from paying costs or compensation to the opposing party.

4. The instructing authority revokes the legal aid if the entitlement to it no longer exists or never existed.
