Key legal question
Whether the pending Italian enforcement proceeding barred entry under Art. 59 lit. d ZPO and Art. 27 LugÜ
Extracted holding
No. The foreign maintenance-enforcement procedure did not concern the same claim in the sense of lis pendens, and Art. 59 lit. d ZPO does not apply to this situation.
Extracted reasoning
The maintenance claims fall under the Hague Maintenance Convention, which prevails over the Lugano Convention in this special field. In any event, a foreign exequatur/enforcement procedure is territorially limited and is not the same matter as a Swiss enforcement proceeding; therefore no parallel claim between the same parties exists.
