Key legal question
Whether the federal appeal against the cantonal guardianship judgment was admissible.
Extracted holding
The appeal was not admissible; the Federal Court could not enter into the case.
Extracted reasoning
The filing was not a valid state-law appeal, because it did not allege any violation of federal law. The cantonal judgment was based on cantonal law, and Art. 5 of the Federal Act on Personal Capacity merely limits cantonal lawmaking and adjudication; it is not itself a substantive decision rule. Therefore no federal appeal lay.
