Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the refusal to recognize Swiss nationality of C.__________ breached equality/non-discrimination guarantees under the ECHR and Swiss law.
Decisione estratta
The refusal was upheld: the old civil-status rule applied at the time of birth, and the ECHR argument did not warrant recognition through this procedure.
Motivazione estratta
Art. 304 aCC barred recognition of a child from an adulterous relationship; the later possibility of facilitated naturalization for persons in C.__________'s situation meant the refusal was not incompatible with Arts. 8 and 14 ECHR.
