Question juridique clé
Whether the guardianship authority tacitly consented to the loans under Art. 421 no. 4 CC by approving annual reports and accounts.
Solution extraite
Yes. Annual approval of reports and accounts can amount to tacit ratification only if the authority paid particular attention to the relevant act; here that requirement was met.
Motifs extraits
The authority had yearly reports with supporting documents, knew of the debt from the outset, expressly noted the debt in the accounts, and later intervened on interest. This showed specific review and tacit ratification.
