Questão jurídica principal
Whether Art. 134(1)(6) OR suspended limitation because the creditor allegedly could not sue in Switzerland during the debtor's absence abroad.
Decisão extraída
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.
Fundamentação extraída
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.
