Ms. Larriera sought revision of the Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵAT judgment on the grounds that new decisive facts had emerged from the French government regarding her relationship with the deceased participant of the Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵJSPF, Mr. M. Specifically, she maintains that the French government has endorsed the findings of a Brazilian court that she was in a ¡°stable union¡± with Mr. M., and that this has also been annotated on the death certificate of Mr. M.

Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵAT observed that Ms. Larriera¡¯s application for revision was untimely. In addition, Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵAT concluded that these allegedly decisive facts occurred in 2021, well after the Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵAT issued its 2020 Judgment. Thus, these cannot be considered ¡°new facts¡± within the meaning of Article 11(1) of the Statute. In addition, Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵAT held that these ¡°new facts¡± did not suggest that the French authorities considered that Mr. M. was divorced from his wife (Ms. M.) or that Ms. Larriera had acquired the status of his spouse at the time of Mr. M.¡¯s death.

Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵAT also held that Ms. Larriera¡¯s arguments about alleged errors of the Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵAT in interpretation of the law did not bring her application within the parameters of Article 11(1) of the Statute. Her application constitutes a disguised attempt to re-open the case. Her application was thus not receivable.
