Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the cantonal courts wrongly refused to hear a release request from involuntary placement when the guardianship authority had not yet decided.
Extrahierter Entscheid
The refusal to enter into the request was lawful; the applicant had to pursue supervisory remedies against the guardianship authority, not go directly to court.
Extrahierte Begründung
If the guardianship authority ordered the placement, it is also competent to decide on release. Judicial review under Art. 397d ZGB is available only against a placement order or a refusal of release after a decision on the merits. When the competent authority remains inactive, the remedy lies with the guardianship supervisory authority.
