Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the cantonal court could deny the intervenor costs after the action was withdrawn.
Decisione estratta
The denial of costs was lawful because, on a forecast of the likely outcome, the intervenor's objections would have failed.
Motivazione estratta
Cantonal law may govern costs in this type of tutelage-liability proceeding; the federal rules on responsibility of tutelage organs do not exclude cantonal procedure, provided the deciding body is independent and impartial. The appellant failed to show arbitrariness in the costs forecast.
