Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the debtor’s objection of 23 December 2009 was valid despite being made before personal receipt of the payment order.
Decisione estratta
Yes. The objection was valid because it related to a specific pending enforcement proceeding that the debtor knew about, even though he had not yet received the payment order.
Motivazione estratta
A premature objection is generally inadmissible, but it is valid when directed against a concrete, already initiated debt collection identified by number and known to the debtor. The court found sufficient indications that the debtor knew of the only pending collection case before the formal delivery date; the cantonal court’s contrary view was arbitrary.
