The originating summons was dismissed because the Federal Government had not yet decided the plaintiff’s Article 15A application and citizenship determinations under Part III rest with the executive and are not ripe for judicial determination; moreover JPN evidence established identity fraud in the marriage registration so the plaintiff was illegitimate at birth and therefore did not qualify for automatic citizenship through the father under the applicable constitutional provisions; JPN records were accepted as authoritative.
