Key legal question
Whether the KESB had standing to appeal the cantonal ruling on legal aid and appointment of counsel for the protected person.
Extracted holding
No standing was shown; the KESB had not participated as a party in the cantonal proceedings and did not establish a legally protected interest.
Extracted reasoning
Under Art. 76(1) BGG, mere interest in correct application of the law is insufficient. The authority was not a party below and did not demonstrate why it should have been admitted as one.
