Key legal question
Whether the Administrative Court had jurisdiction under Art. 444 ZGB to decide the competence dispute between child protection authorities.
Extracted holding
Yes. As the first-seised authority had been unable to agree with the other authority, the Administrative Court could decide the competence question under Art. 444(4) ZGB.
Extracted reasoning
Art. 444 ZGB requires the first-seised authority to refer an unresolved competence dispute to the judicial complaint instance, whose decision is binding for both cantons.
