Key legal question
Whether the appeal to the Federal Supreme Court against the cantonal decision refusing suspensive effect was admissible.
Extracted holding
The appeal was inadmissible because the challenged decision was a cantonal intermediate decision not issued by a superior court meeting Art. 75(2) BGG requirements.
Extracted reasoning
In matters of child protection closely linked to civil law, the appeal in civil matters is available only against a final decision from a last cantonal instance. Since the decision was rendered by a department head rather than an upper court and no exception under Art. 75(2) BGG applied, the Federal Supreme Court could not enter into the appeal.
