Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the adoption annulment action was filed in time or could benefit from restitution of the filing period.
Decisione estratta
The action was time-barred; even assuming restitution was possible, the parents did not act with the required promptness after learning the relevant fact.
Motivazione estratta
The decisive fact was known in September 2005. An applicant must act as quickly as possible once the cause of delay ends, ordinarily within about a month absent special circumstances. Filing in 2006 in Rwanda or in 2007 in Switzerland was far too late.
