Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the Swiss enforcement proceedings had to be stayed because the German enforcement opposition action was filed first.
Extrahierter Entscheid
No stay was required because the Swiss debt-enforcement steps had already made the matter pending in Switzerland before the German action was filed.
Extrahierte Begründung
For purposes of Art. 9 IPRG, pendency in Switzerland dates back to the first necessary enforcement step; here the debt-collection request and service of the payment order preceded the German action. Moreover, the German action concerned a different object from the Swiss enforcement request.
