AI generated

The Supreme Court allowed the cassation appeal regarding the involuntary hospitalization of a patient lacking decision-making capacity. The Social Assistance Center sought admission without consent, arguing the patient posed a danger to herself and others, while the patient contested the necessity of forced measures. The court ruled that the lower court correctly applied the law by finding the patient unfit to consent and the hospitalization legally justified under the Civil Code.
