Questão jurídica principal
Whether the federal appeal against the cantonal judgment on involuntary commitment remained justiciable after the commitment period expired.
Decisão extraída
The appeal had become moot because the challenged involuntary commitment was limited until 2009-03-02 and could no longer affect the appellant under that judgment.
Fundamentação extraída
Since the measure had expired by the time of the federal decision, the appellant no longer had a current legal interest in the appeal; the proceedings had therefore to be removed from the docket as moot under Art. 71 BGG in conjunction with Art. 72 BZP.
