Key legal question
Whether the involuntary placement under Art. 426 ZGB was lawful and had to be lifted.
Extracted holding
The placement was lawful because the appellant still needed inpatient treatment and protection against self-harm could not be ensured otherwise.
Extracted reasoning
The Federal Supreme Court was bound by the cantonal findings because no adequately reasoned challenge to the facts was raised. On those findings, the statutory conditions of Art. 426(1) ZGB were met: a mental disorder required treatment in an appropriate institution, and no less intrusive alternative could ensure the necessary care and protection.
