Question juridique clé
Whether an appeal against an unreasoned KESB dispositive filed after the 10-day request period is admissible
Solution extraite
No. In child and adult protection matters, failing to request reasons within the notified 10-day period counts as a waiver of appeal, so the later filing was too late in substance.
Motifs extraits
The court held that § 21bis lit. c VRG, read with the ZGB and by analogy to Art. 239 ZPO, makes the appeal period begin only with service of the reasoned decision when reasons are timely requested. If no request is made after proper warning, the decision becomes final and cannot later be challenged by appeal.
