Open source

Extracted by Omnilex

Omnilex summary

The decision addresses advance payments for child-support maintenance under LARPA. It states that insolvency exists once payment or recovery becomes impossible, even only in part. On that basis, the reduction of advances by the Scarpa is treated as the cessation of payments that cannot be recovered in the long term, an interpretation regarded as compatible with the statute's objectives.

Omnilex headnote

LARPA art. 11; insolvency condition for advance payments and recovery of amounts advanced: insolvency is fulfilled as soon as reimbursement or recovery proves impossible, even partially. A reduction of advances may be assimilated to the cessation of payment of sums not likely to be recovered in the long term, if such an interpretation accords with the purpose of the statute.
