Question juridique clé
Whether the facilitated naturalization could be annulled under Art. 41 LN for false declarations or concealment of essential facts.
Solution extraite
The annulment was lawful because the rapid sequence of events supported a factual presumption that the marriage was not stable when the declaration was signed, and the appellant did not overturn that presumption.
Motifs extraits
The Court held that annulment requires deceptive conduct, not merely an unmet condition. A factual presumption may arise from a rapid breakdown of the marriage, shifting to the applicant only the burden of making plausible that he had not lied. The appellant did not make credible the existence of an extraordinary event or his lack of awareness of the couple's problems.
