Questão jurídica principal
Whether the child had to be personally heard under Art. 314 ZGB before the child-protection measure was ordered
Decisão extraída
At this age and developmental level, the child was capable of being heard; the hearing could be and was lawfully carried out in the appeal proceedings, curing the earlier omission.
Fundamentação extraída
A child older than ten, described as intelligent and able to regulate conduct, had sufficient cognitive capacity. The appellate authority delegated the hearing to a specialist judge, and the child was heard in time to inform the decision; any omission by the first authority was therefore cured.
