Questione giuridica chiave
Whether Swiss courts had territorial jurisdiction over the paternity action
Decisione estratta
Swiss jurisdiction existed because the child had her habitual residence in Switzerland when the action was filed.
Motivazione estratta
Habitual residence under LDIP depends on factual, outwardly recognisable residence and centre of personal relations. The child had lived in Switzerland since 1995 and was schooled and assisted there.
