Overview

  • The Supreme Court applied article 280 of the Civil and Commercial Procedural Code to summarily dismiss her demand as inadmissible
  • Justices Horacio Rosatti, Carlos Rosenkrantz and Ricardo Lorenzetti signed the unanimous ruling that forecloses any further appeals
  • A 2007 extrajudicial DNA test and a 2015 exhumation both produced results incompatible with a father-daughter relationship
  • Borda initiated her claim in 2007 after alleging her mother had a secret romance with Sandro in 1965 and learning of her supposed paternity in 2006
  • Courts in 2016, 2018 and the Buenos Aires provincial Supreme Court in early 2024 all previously rejected her bid for recognition based on genetic evidence
