Questão jurídica principal
Whether the Federal Supreme Court could review the correct application of Dutch inheritance law in this property dispute.
Decisão extraída
It could not review the substantive application of Dutch law in a pecuniary civil dispute on appeal.
Fundamentação extraída
Although the testators validly chose Dutch law, the inheritance-partition claim is pecuniary in nature; therefore, the appeal did not allow review of the correct application of foreign law.
