Questione giuridica chiave
Whether a foreign arbitral award outside the Lugano regime can serve as a definitive debt-collection title for attachment under Art. 271(1)(6) LP without prior exequatur.
Decisione estratta
Yes. The attachment judge may incidentally assess enforceability of a foreign non-Lugano arbitral award and, on a prima facie basis, treat it as a definitive debt-collection title.
Motivazione estratta
The wording of Art. 271(1)(6) LP refers broadly to a definitive title, which under Art. 80 LP includes an enforceable judgment, including foreign judgments. Legislative history and the purpose of the 2011 revision support treating non-Lugano foreign awards like other enforceable judgments, without requiring a prior contradictory exequatur proceeding.
