Question juridique clé
Whether the appeal against the involuntary commitment was admissible and well-founded
Solution extraite
The appeal was admissible only to the extent permitted, but it was manifestly unfounded because the lower court's findings on illness, treatment need, and danger had to be accepted.
Motifs extraits
The appellant raised no factual objections. The Federal Supreme Court was bound by the facts found below absent substantiated arbitrariness. On those facts, detention in a suitable institution under Art. 397a ZGB was lawful because necessary care and protection against self- and third-party harm could not otherwise be ensured.
