The Supreme Administrative Court dismissed the applicant's appeal against the lower court's decision to order mandatory disability services. The applicant argued that the services violated personal autonomy, while the state contended that the statutory obligation to provide care for severe disabilities is non-negotiable. The court upheld the lower ruling, affirming that the Social Services Act imposes a clear duty on municipalities to arrange necessary support for individuals with severe disabilities regardless of personal objections.
