Kernrechtsfrage
Whether reinstatement may be requested in a debt-enforcement debt-recovery summary proceeding.
Extrahierter Entscheid
Yes. The general rules on reinstatement apply analogously to summary proceedings and also to missed appearances in debt-recovery proceedings.
Extrahierte Begründung
Rechtsöffnung matters are assigned to summary procedure, and the procedural references in the Zurich ZPO make the ordinary procedural rules, including reinstatement, applicable by analogy. The special nature of debt-enforcement law does not exclude reinstatement; Swiss case law recognizes restoration of missed deadlines in SchKG matters by analogy, and there is no persuasive reason to treat missed hearing dates in debt-recovery proceedings differently.
