Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the contract of sale and the debtor's signed letters constituted a recognition of debt under Art. 82 LP for provisional release.
Decisione estratta
Yes. Taken together, the sale contract and the signed correspondence showed an unconditional, sufficiently determinable obligation to pay the sale price, so they constituted a title for provisional release.
Motivazione estratta
A recognition of debt may arise from several documents if the signed document directly refers to the document stating the claim and amount. The signed letter of 6 August 2003 expressly confirmed the earlier letter of 4 July 2003, including the exercise of the pre-emption right and acceptance of the purchase price. The debtor's objections about the lack of a formal sales contract did not defeat the debt, because exercise of the pre-emption right places the parties in the same position as if they had concluded a sale.
