Whether the appeal against the order opening an inquiry into limitation of parental authority is admissible.
The appeal is inadmissible because the challenged order is not a decision that creates, modifies, or extinguishes rights or duties, and no legal remedy is provided against such an opening order.
The court held that the opening of an inquiry is merely preparatory and does not itself affect parental rights; the applicable procedural framework provides no appeal against the decision to open the inquiry. In any event, such a preliminary decision could only be overturned if unsustainable, which could not be assessed before the inquiry is completed.
