Text
The appeal is dismissed.
Reasons
We examine the grounds of appeal.
1. Article 5 of the Social Protection Act provides that a court shall only issue a protective custody disposition without setting a period of time, but this does not constitute a violation of Articles 12 and 27 of the Constitution on the sole ground of this reason (see, e.g., Supreme Court Decision 89Do171, Feb. 23, 1990). Thus, we cannot accept the argument.
2. The appeal shall be filed against the part concerning custody cases in the appellate court's judgment, and the appeal shall not be filed against the judgment of the appellate court which found the defendant guilty of the facts charged, on the ground that there is an error of law by misunderstanding the facts contrary to the rules of evidence in the appellate court's judgment which found the defendant guilty of the facts charged (see Supreme Court Decision 90Do85 delivered on June 12, 190, 190). Thus,
3. Therefore, the appeal is dismissed. It is so decided as per Disposition by the assent of all participating Justices on the bench.
