Key legal question
Whether the public law complaint under Art. 83 let. e OJ was admissible
Extracted holding
Yes. The dispute between cantonal tutelary authorities over a ward's change of domicile falls within Art. 83 let. e OJ, and the complaint is subsidiary and not subject to a time limit or exhaustion requirement.
Extracted reasoning
The Federal Tribunal held that disputes between tutelary authorities of different cantons concerning Art. 377 CC are within its competence and that no ordinary appeal was available.
