Key legal question
Whether the cantonal court had jurisdiction as sole appeal instance in child protection matters despite the challenged measure originating from a municipal authority.
Extracted holding
The cantonal supreme court was competent as sole appeal instance under federal and cantonal law, regardless of the measure having been issued under the former regime by a municipal authority.
Extracted reasoning
Art. 450 ZGB provides for a single appeal instance in child and adult protection matters; the revised law applied immediately to pending cases, so the Cantonal Court was competent under federal law and § 65d EGZGB/AG.
