Question juridique clé
Whether the public law appeal against the guardian appointment was admissible and whether the father had standing to challenge the merits under arbitrariness review.
Solution extraite
The appeal was admissible only to the extent it alleged a formal denial of justice or violation of the right to be heard; the father lacked standing to contest the merits of the guardian’s selection.
Motifs extraits
Parents have only a factual or indirect interest in the choice of a guardian; Article 381 CC protects public interests and does not confer a personally protected right for public-law appeal. By contrast, a complaint that the authority prevented the father from proposing or contesting the guardian could raise a formal denial-of-justice or hearing issue.
