Omnilex-Zusammenfassung

The Administrative Court held that it was not competent to hear an appeal against a decision of the psychiatric supervisory council refusing to terminate an ambulatory treatment ordered under Art. 43 CP. The council was treated as an independent authority for the purposes of Art. 98a OJF and Art. 1 RALTA, so the appeal could not be examined on the merits.

Omnilex-Regeste

Art. 98a OJF; Art. 1 RALTA: jurisdiction of the administrative court over decisions of independent authorities. A body entrusted with review in the field of psychiatric supervision may qualify as an independent authority for procedural purposes, with the consequence that its decisions fall outside the administrative court's ordinary appellate competence. Where such qualification applies, the court must decline jurisdiction without examining the substance of the request to terminate ambulatory treatment ordered under Art. 43 CP.
