Key legal question
Whether the social authority was bound by the final child protection placement decision and the foster care contract when financing the placement costs.
Extracted holding
Yes. The social commission had to cover the full placement costs resulting from the final KESB decision, to the extent not covered otherwise, and could not substitute its own lower tariff.
Extracted reasoning
A final child protection measure is binding on the cost-bearing authority. By applying its own maximum tariff instead of the amount set in the placement decision and contract, the social commission unlawfully interfered with KESB's federal competence.
