Appeal Regarding Enforcement of Outpatient Psychiatric Treatment via Police Escort
This provision was discussed extensively as the legal basis lacking the necessary specificity for the challenged coercive measure (though it was not explicitly cited in the final orders, the court's reasoning that the KESB decision was based on an insufficient legal ground leads to the annulment of the coercive element (Ziff 3.3)). However, as the rule demands inclusion ONLY IF explicitly cited in the dispositive, and it is not, it is excluded, even though it is the core of the judgment's reasoning.
