Date:	19.03.2020
Force of law:	-

Summary:	A.F., the father of B.F., had filed a lawsuit against the appointment of a guardianship authority for his son. The Cantonal Court rejected the appeal because B.F. is unable to manage his own affairs due to his intellectual disability. The guardianship authority will now represent the interests of B.F. and manage his person and property. A.F. can still appeal to the Federal Court against the appointment of the guardianship authority. The verdict is not yet final. More detailed summary: A.F. filed a lawsuit against the appointment of a guardianship authority for his son B.F., who suffers from mental retardation. A.F. considered that his son was capable of managing his own affairs. The Cantonal Court rejected the appeal. The court concluded that B.F. is unable to manage his own affairs due to his mental retardation. The court referred to the opinions of two experts who came to the conclusion that B.F. is not able to understand what it means to have a guardianship authority, and that he is not able to represent his own interests. The guardianship authority will now represent the interests of B.F. and manage his person and property. A.F. can still appeal to the Federal Court against the appointment of the guardianship authority. The verdict is not yet final.
