Asylum Act
(AsylA)

¹ The Fed­er­al Ad­min­is­trat­ive Court shall at the re­quest of the asylum seeker, who shall be ex­emp­ted from pay­ing the pro­ced­ur­al costs, ap­point an of­fi­cial leg­al ad­viser, but only in the case of ap­peals against:

a.

de­cisions to dis­miss the ap­plic­a­tion, de­cisions to re­fuse asylum and re­mov­al or­ders un­der Art­icles 31a and 44;

b.

de­cisions on the re­voc­a­tion or ex­piry of asylum un­der Art­icles 63 and 64;

c.

the ter­min­a­tion of tem­por­ary ad­mis­sion re­lat­ing to asylum seekers un­der Art­icle 84 para­graphs 2 and 3 FNIA³⁵²;

d.

de­cisions re­lat­ing to grant­ing tem­por­ary pro­tec­tion un­der Chapter 4 of this Act.

² An ex­cep­tion is made for ap­peals un­der para­graph 1 if they re­late to re-ex­am­in­a­tion and re­view pro­ced­ures and mul­tiple ap­plic­a­tions. For these and for the oth­er ap­peals, with the ex­cep­tion of para­graph 1, Art­icle 65 para­graph 2 of the Ad­min­is­trat­ive Pro­ced­ure Act ap­plies³⁵³.

³ In the case of ap­peals sub­mit­ted on the basis of this Act, per­sons with a uni­versity de­gree in law who are in­volved in coun­selling and rep­res­ent­ing asylum seekers pro­fes­sion­ally are also au­thor­ised to act as of­fi­cial leg­al ad­visers.

⁴ Para­graphs 1–3 also ap­ply to per­sons whose ap­plic­a­tion is de­cided on un­der the ac­cel­er­ated pro­ced­ure and who do not make use of leg­al rep­res­ent­a­tion un­der Art­icle 102h. This also ap­plies when the leg­al rep­res­ent­at­ive as­signed un­der the ac­cel­er­ated pro­ced­ure does not make an ap­peal (Art. 102h para­graph 4).
