Substitution of court-appointed counsel in legal aid without additional cost burden to the state treasury

The Federal Constitutional Court amended a prior legal aid order, substituting the originally appointed attorney with a second one while strictly conditioning the modification on ensuring that no additional costs are incurred for the state treasury. The dispute concerned the administrative assignment of legal counsel in a legal aid proceeding, where the court determined a change in representation was necessary or appropriate. Deciding on the procedural law governing legal aid (Prozesskostenhilfe) and the specific rules for the appointment and substitution of counsel, the court exercised its authority to modify the initial decision to ensure proper representation without financial burden on public funds.
