Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the home guardianship authority had a right to prior notice or consent before the cantonal government lifted the guardianship.
Decisione estratta
No. Federal law granted notice of the establishment and lifting of guardianship, but did not require prior consultation before emancipation.
Motivazione estratta
Art. 12, 14 and 15 of the 1891 federal law entitled the home authority to be informed of the entry into and termination of guardianship and, where appropriate, to request guardianship or transfer. It did not confer a procedural right to be heard before a planned lifting of guardianship.
