| Summary: | Complainant A submitted a request for leave during his imprisonment, which was rejected. After A appealed against the refusal, his appeal was dismissed due to an unfulfilled deadline. A then filed a complaint with the Administrative Court, which confirmed the refusal to provide legal assistance free of charge. Finally, the complaint was referred back to the Directorate of Justice, as the rejection was classified as excessively formalistic due to rambling. The court costs were divided between the appellant and the respondent, with the appellant being granted free litigation. |
