Right to Formal Documents
A case involved a dispute between a claimant and defendants over formal documents for her sons.
Background
A claimant filed a case against defendants requesting that the court validate her right to obtain formal documents for her sons. The claimant stated that she was the ex-wife of the first defendant.
The court ruled that the first defendant provide the claimant with the said documents.
The first defendant appealed and the appeal court abandoned the ruling.
The claimant appealed by cassation.
Decision
Before the cassation court the claimant argued that the ruling had erred in the application of law as her request for the validation of her right to the documents entailed that the defendant give up the needed documents.
The court held that this argument was valid and repealed the ruling.
