Key legal question
Whether the refusal to discharge the appellant from involuntary psychiatric placement was lawful.
Extracted holding
The placement remained lawful because the cantonal findings on illness, treatment need, and risk of self-harm were binding and supported retention in a suitable institution.
Extracted reasoning
The appellant failed to raise substantiated challenges to the factual findings under the strict requirements for constitutional review; on the established facts, Art. 397a(1) ZGB was satisfied because necessary personal care could not otherwise be provided and the risk of self-harm required inpatient treatment.
