The court dismissed the appeal regarding the review of the paternity investigation, affirming that establishing biological paternity is exclusively a matter of fact for the trial instances. The plaintiff argued for a review based on alleged procedural errors, while the defendant contended the investigation was legally sound. The court ruled that such investigations require direct proof of sexual relations between the mother and the alleged father during the legal conception period.
