Question juridique clé
Whether the bankruptcy opening could stand despite a pending request to suspend enforcement under Art. 85a SchKG filed before the bankruptcy hearing.
Solution extraite
No. The bankruptcy court had to await the fate of the suspension request once the negative declaratory action had been filed in time.
Motifs extraits
The Supreme Court held that established case law requires deciding the suspension request before declaring bankruptcy if the request was submitted before the bankruptcy hearing. The cantonal court's contrary approach violated federal law.
