Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the civil register entry of the child's surname was based on an obvious clerical error under Art. 43 ZGB.
Extrahierter Entscheid
No. The register entry reflected the applicable law and the information available to the civil registrar; no obvious mistake existed.
Extrahierte Begründung
Administrative correction under Art. 43 ZGB is limited to clear, undisputed errors apparent from the documents and information then available. Here, Swiss law applied and Art. 270(2) ZGB required the surname of the unmarried mother.
