Legislator summary

AI generated

The Supreme Court of Justice rejected the request to review the biological filiation of a child, ruling it a matter of fact. The lower court established the biological facts, which the Supreme Court deemed exclusive to the first instance. Consequently, the Supreme Court declined to modify these factual findings as they fall outside its jurisdiction.
