Key legal question
Whether the cantonal administrative court had jurisdiction over a guardianship-liability action despite Articles 426 ss CC
Extracted holding
The cantonal administrative procedure and the administrative court were compatible with federal law; the CC provisions did not exclude cantonal administrative jurisdiction if the tribunal is independent and impartial under Article 6 ECHR.
Extracted reasoning
Federal law leaves cantons wide procedural autonomy for guardianship-liability claims; only the independence and impartiality requirements are mandatory. The challenge therefore failed under the primacy-of-federal-law argument.
