Key legal question
Whether the conditions for a general curatorship under Art. 398 CC were met.
Extracted holding
Yes. The claimant had a serious mental disorder, a lasting need for assistance, repeated relapses and hospitalizations, and could not adequately safeguard his interests.
Extracted reasoning
The court relied on the psychiatric expert opinion, the history of involuntary hospitalizations, and evidence that he mismanaged his finances and stopped treatment, which supported the need for comprehensive protection.
