A man had been found not to be the father in a Supreme Court judgment of 1968. After the case had been reopened based on a DNA analysis, see section 28 a subsection 1 of the Children Act, he was identified as the father. The Supreme Court adjudged him to be the father, see section 9 subsection 1 first sentence of the Children Act.
