Questão jurídica principal
Whether the requirements for involuntary hospitalization under Art. 397a(1) ZGB were met.
Decisão extraída
The appellant suffered from a qualifying mental weakness and alcohol dependence, needed personal care, and such care could only be provided in an institution; the measure was therefore lawful.
Fundamentação extraída
The court relied on the expert opinion and the clinic doctor's statements. It accepted a paranoid personality disorder with querulous traits, possible delusional disorder, significant alcohol abuse, self-neglect, and concrete self- and third-party danger. It held that the statutory prerequisites were fulfilled and that the psychiatric clinic was suitable.
