The court dismissed the appeal because the original judgment on the paternity investigation had already become final and binding. The defendant had requested new blood tests from a different laboratory than the official one, but the lower court refused this request. Since the matter was definitively resolved in the final judgment, the appellate court could not re-examine the issue.

SUMÁRIO

Transitado em julgado o despacho que, em acção de investigação de paternidade, indeferiu o requerimento do réu para efectivação de novos exames hematológicos por entidade distinta do Instituto de Medicina Legal de Lisboa, a questão ficou definitivamente resolvida, não podendo ser de novo apreciada em recurso da decisão final proferida naquela acção.
