Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the civil status register entry showing a birth date of 15 January 1968 had to be corrected to 15 January 1972
Decisione estratta
The appellant did not prove the entry's inaccuracy with certainty; the existing register entry, supported by earlier documents and a judicial order, remained decisive.
Motivazione estratta
Register entries enjoy enhanced evidentiary force under Art. 9 ZGB. A correction under Art. 42 ZGB / Art. 45 aZGB is only possible if the inaccuracy is clearly established. The new Ghanaian certificate and passport were of no higher probative value than the earlier contradictory documents and could not overturn the registered date.
