AI generated

The court dismissed the appeal regarding the jurisdiction of an official paternity investigation. The lower court had processed the inquiry in civil services, but the appellate tribunal determined that such proceedings possess a mixed nature with administrative predominance. Consequently, the instruction phase must be conducted exclusively within the services of the Public Prosecutor's Office.
