Legislator summary

The court dismissed the appellant's appeal to terminate child support and recover payments made under a final judgment. Although medical testing later proved the appellant was not the biological father, the court held that the legal obligation to support the child remained binding due to the original judgment's legal force. Consequently, the appeal was rejected because the statutory duty to pay support could not be undone merely by subsequent genetic findings.

Sen jälkeen kun tuomioistuin oli velvoittanut A:n suorittamaan avioliiton ulkopuolella syntynyttä lasta varten elatusapua, lääketieteellisessä isyystutkimuksessa oli todettu, ettei lapsi voinut olla A:n siittämä. Koska elatusvelvollisuus kuitenkin perustui lainvoiman saaneeseen tuomioon, A:n kanne elatusvelvollisuuden lakkauttamisesta ja hänen maksamiensa elatusmaksujen palauttamisesta jätettiin tutkittavaksi ottamatta.
