Questione giuridica chiave
Whether Art. 134(1)(6) OR suspended limitation because the creditor allegedly could not sue in Switzerland during the debtor's absence abroad.
Decisione estratta
The limitation period was suspended only if the creditor could not bring the claim before a Swiss court for objective reasons; mere abstract possibility of arrest was not enough, and no duty existed to search speculatively for assets.
Motivazione estratta
The Court held that a creditor need not undertake hopeless inquiries to locate Swiss assets. Where the creditor has no concrete indications of arrestable assets, the absence of a known Swiss forum means the claim cannot be pursued in Switzerland within the meaning of Art. 134(1)(6) OR.
