The court dismissed the appeal regarding the allocation of litigation costs in a paternity dispute. The mother had previously registered the child's birth with her name as the father, which the court relied upon to deny the paternity claim. Consequently, the court ruled that the mother must bear the costs because the denial was based on her own prior declaration.
