Key legal question
Whether the creditors' requests for assignment of the bankruptcy estate's rights were time-barred
Extracted holding
The time limit had not started to run because no valid renunciation by the estate to continue the pending action had been established.
Extracted reasoning
For claims pending at bankruptcy opening, a valid assignment under art. 63 OAOF presupposes that the estate has expressly or tacitly decided not to continue the lawsuit after giving all creditors an explicit opportunity to state their position. Mere inclusion of an assignment offer in the collocation list is insufficient.
