More detailed summary:
On 26 March 2019, the Cour des poursuites et faillites (Cour des faillites) issued a decision confirming the decision of the Nyon District Court of 2 November 2018. The district court had revoked the attachment of 5050 francs for the debtor B.________. B._______ had objected to the attachment because he denies the claim.
The Federal Court shares the opinion of the district court that the attachment can be temporarily lifted, since the claim is not clearly substantiated. B.________ has the opportunity to dispute the claim in an ordinary procedure. Until the final completion of this procedure, B.________ can recover the amount of attachment.
Justification:
In its decision, the Federal Supreme Court states that the attachment of CHF 5,050 is not clearly justified. The creditor's claim is not substantiated by a final judgment or an enforceable settlement. B.________ denies the claim, and it is possible that he can successfully deny it in the ordinary proceedings.
Therefore, the Federal Court upheld the decision of the district court. The attachment of CHF 5,050 is provisionally cancelled, and B.________ may recover the amount of the attachment until the ordinary proceedings have been finally concluded. |
