guardianship


Explanation:
I was always taught that patients should not be referred to as "cases", therefore I would not translate this as a "case of guardianship", but rather say that

..... the following medial (report/opinion/statement ...) was issued in respect of this patient under guardianship.

Das Betreuungsgericht ist seit dem Inkrafttreten des Gesetzes zur Reform des Verfahrens in Familiensachen und in den Angelegenheiten der Freiwilligen Gerichtsbarkeit das für Betreuungs- und Unterbringungsangelegenheiten Volljähriger berufene Gericht. Früher wurde es Vormundschaftsgericht genannt.
