Key legal question
Whether the federal debt-enforcement complaint was filed within the statutory deadline despite Christmas enforcement holidays.
Extracted holding
No. The 10-day period ran normally and expired in December 2002; the complaint posted on 6 January 2003 was late.
Extracted reasoning
A cantonal supervisory decision that merely rules on a complaint is not a debt-enforcement act for purposes of the holiday suspension rules; therefore Art. 56 and Art. 63 SchKG did not extend the appeal period, nor did the court holidays under the OG.
