Question juridique clé
Whether the 19 July 2004 agreement constituted a debt acknowledgment binding Y. SA for provisional release
Solution extraite
No. The agreement was interpreted as a surety-like promise by the husband, not as a cumulative assumption of debt by Y. SA; therefore the company was not the debtor named in the title.
Motifs extraits
The contract was private, concluded in the divorce context, and signed by the husband without indicating that he acted for the company. Nothing in the text or file showed an intention to make Y. SA jointly liable. Provisional release requires identity between the pursued party and the debtor in the title, which was missing.
