Key legal question
Whether the civil appeal was admissible despite the lack of a present practical interest
Extracted holding
The appeal was inadmissible because the contested child-protection measure had long since ended and no exception to the present-interest requirement applied.
Extracted reasoning
Under Art. 76(1)(b) LTF, an appellant must have a legally protected interest in annulment or modification. The case raised only an abstract competence question about a measure that had expired years earlier, which the court may not review.
