Kernrechtsfrage
Whether Neuchâtel courts had international jurisdiction to rule on the succession and will-annulment action under Art. 87 PILA.
Extrahierter Entscheid
The cantonal court correctly denied jurisdiction: the deceased was domiciled in Monaco, and nothing showed that Monaco authorities were not dealing with the succession or that Swiss jurisdiction had been validly chosen.
Extrahierte Begründung
A Swiss forum under Art. 87 PILA was not established. The record showed Monaco notarial acts and no evidence of unsuccessful attempts to obtain action by Monegasque authorities. The alleged facts advanced by the appellant could not be considered because they were outside the established record or insufficiently reasoned.
