Question juridique clé
Whether repeated release requests from involuntary placement may be rejected for lack of a protected interest absent changed circumstances.
Solution extraite
A release request may be examined only if the applicant still has a protected interest; repeated requests made at unreasonable intervals or in a querulous manner need not be entertained.
Motifs extraits
The right to request release at any time is subject to good faith. Under Art. 5(4) ECHR and Art. 31(4) BV, review must occur at reasonable intervals, which allows limiting clearly abusive repeat requests. Here no relevant change since the last merits decision was shown.
