Key legal question
Whether the involuntary commitment and continued retention under Article 397a ZGB were lawful
Extracted holding
Yes. On the facts found below, stationarily treating and retaining the appellant was necessary because only inpatient care could ensure protection against self- and third-party harm until stabilization.
Extracted reasoning
The Federal Supreme Court was bound by the lower authority's findings because the appellant did not raise sufficiently substantiated factual objections. Given those findings, the statutory conditions for admission to an appropriate institution and retention were met.
