Questão jurídica principal
Whether the time limit for challenging a paternity acknowledgment could be restored for important reasons
Decisão extraída
The late filing could not be excused; the restoration of the time limit was unlawful.
Fundamentação extraída
The claimant had already begun to doubt paternity in September 1996 and had to clarify the matter without delay. His inaction for years was inexcusable, so the important-reasons exception did not apply.
