Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the appellant could appeal the KESB's refusal to open adult-protection proceedings
Decisione estratta
She could not, because she was only a notifying person under Art. 443 ZGB and no proceedings had been opened in which she could participate.
Motivazione estratta
A mere report under Art. 443 ZGB does not create party status or an automatic right to information or appeal. Appeals under Art. 450 ZGB are available against decisions; where no decision is taken to open proceedings, there is nothing appealable. The court also found no basis to compel the KESB to initiate proceedings.
