Firm annotation
Section 1598/24 is part of Book 5 (Family) of the Thai Civil and Commercial Code.

Why this matters in practice
For lawyers: if your client is an institution officer seeking to adopt a child under their care, a court petition is mandatory, no self-consent is permitted. For clients: this rule ensures independent oversight when someone in a position of institutional power wishes to adopt.
Legislative history
Section 1598/24 was introduced with the adoption chapters of Book 5 in B.E. 2519. It prevents conflicts of interest where an institution's officer adopts a child in the institution's care without independent oversight.
