Résumé Omnilex

SCARPA asked for suppression of support advances. The court held that the support debtor had not shown impecuniosity: he owned a rapidly realizable US$18 million receivable, paid CHF 1,400 monthly rent, and had undertaken school costs for one child. The evidence therefore did not justify removing the advances under LARPA.11.

Regeste Omnilex

LARPA.11; suppression of maintenance advances requires proof of the debtor's impecuniosity. The authority may refuse withdrawal where the debtor is shown to have readily realisable assets or other indicia of financial capacity. The burden lies on the authority seeking suppression; mere allegations of lack of means are insufficient when the file discloses a substantial claim that can be realized promptly and ongoing expenditures compatible with solvency.

LARPA.11

Résumé

Dans la mesure où le jugement du Tribunal de police indique que le débiteur des pensions alimentaires est titulaire d'une créance de US $ 18 millions, dont il pouvait bénéficier rapidement, qu'il est locataire d'un logement au loyer mensuel de CHF 1'400.-- et qu'il s'est engagé à prendre en charge les frais d'écolage de l'un au moins de ses enfants pour l'année 1997/1998, la démonstration de l'impécuniosité dudit débiteur n'a pas été faite par le SCARPA.

Question juridique clé

Whether the support debtor's insolvency was proven so as to justify suppressing or suspending support advances under LARPA.11.

Solution extraite

No. The debtor's financial situation did not establish insolvency; the evidence instead suggested access to substantial assets and expenses inconsistent with inability to pay.

Motifs extraits

The police court judgment showed a US$18 million receivable that could be accessed quickly, regular rent payments, and the assumption of school expenses for at least one child. On that basis, SCARPA did not prove the debtor's impecuniosity.
