Asylum Act
(AsylA)

¹ Each asylum seeker shall be as­signed a leg­al rep­res­ent­at­ive from the start of the pre­par­at­ory phase and for the re­mainder of the asylum pro­ced­ure, un­less the asylum seeker ex­pressly de­clines this.

² The leg­al rep­res­ent­at­ive as­signed shall in­form the asylum seeker as quickly as pos­sible about the asylum seeker’s chances in the asylum pro­ced­ure.

³ Leg­al rep­res­ent­a­tion shall last, un­der the ac­cel­er­ated and the Dub­lin pro­ced­ure, un­til a leg­ally bind­ing de­cision is taken, or un­til a de­cision is taken about car­ry­ing out an ex­ten­ded pro­ced­ure. Art­icle 102l is re­served.

⁴ Leg­al rep­res­ent­a­tion shall end when the leg­al rep­res­ent­at­ive as­signed in­forms the asylum seeker that he or she does not wish to sub­mit an ap­peal be­cause it would have no pro­spect of suc­cess. This shall take place as quickly as pos­sible after no­ti­fic­a­tion of the de­cision to re­ject asylum.

⁵ The tasks of the leg­al rep­res­ent­at­ive are gov­erned by Art­icle 102k.
