Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the appeal against the confirmed involuntary placement remained justiciable after the measure ended.
Extrahierter Entscheid
The appeal had become moot because the placement ended by 3 November 2013 and any current stay in the clinic was no longer based on the challenged decision.
Extrahierte Begründung
Since the measure upheld in the cantonal decision had already expired, the dispute no longer had a practical purpose. The proceedings had therefore to be struck from the docket as moot.
