The Supreme Court of Justice ruled that it lacks the authority to modify a foreign judgment that has been reviewed. The court held that its role is strictly limited to either confirming the decision or rejecting it if the requirements of Article 1096 of the 1967 Civil Procedure Code are not met. Consequently, any attempt to alter the substance of the reviewed foreign ruling was deemed legally impermissible.
