Question juridique clé
Whether the refusal to extend the response deadline under Art. 144(2) CPC was unconstitutional or arbitrary.
Solution extraite
The refusal was lawful: a deadline extension requires sufficiently substantiated reasons, and the debtor did not make any plausible showing of such reasons.
Motifs extraits
Art. 144(2) CPC is discretionary, not automatic. The debtor's vague reference to 'various reasons, including health' did not plausibly establish a sufficient impediment, especially in a summary definitive debt-enforcement proceeding requiring speed.
