Key legal question
Whether the Swiss conservatorship lapsed automatically when the protected foreigner gave up his Swiss residence.
Extracted holding
Yes. Once the Swiss domicile ended, the conservatorship ceased by operation of law without a formal lifting order.
Extracted reasoning
Swiss authority to maintain the measure depended on Swiss domicile under the NAG. When the foreigner moved abroad, that basis fell away; in the absence of a transfer under Art. 33 NAG, only automatic lapse or formal abolition remained, and the measure could not continue by omission.
