Key legal question
Whether the Valais court had territorial jurisdiction to grant exequatur of the Norwegian judgments against Y.
Extracted holding
Yes. The place of execution could found jurisdiction because assets subject to seizure were located in Switzerland; the objection was therefore unfounded.
Extracted reasoning
Under Art. 32 No. 2 CL 1988, if the defendant is not domiciled in the requested state, jurisdiction lies at the place of execution. The court accepted that assets could be seized in Valais, so the cantonal court was competent.
