Key legal question
Whether the appeal against the judicial confirmation of the physician-ordered placement was still admissible and live.
Extracted holding
The appeal had become moot because the placement was nearing its expiry and a prolongation procedure had been initiated; the case was therefore struck off the docket.
Extracted reasoning
A recourse can become moot due to later events. The medical placement was limited to six weeks and would expire on 2015-04-10, while a request for prolongation under Art. 429 para. 2 CC had already been filed and a hearing was scheduled. The appellant's rights were preserved by the possibility of challenging any prolongation decision.
