Key legal question
Whether a wage claim’s first-class privilege period is extended backwards by the time spent in an objection lawsuit under Art. 88 para. 2 SchKG.
Extracted holding
No. The relevant period for privileged wage claims is not retroactively extended by the interval between filing and judicial determination of the objection action.
Extracted reasoning
The creditor’s privilege depends on the statutory time limit under Art. 219 first class lit. c SchKG in conjunction with Art. 146 para. 2 SchKG. The debtor’s objection does not justify a backward extension of the period; the creditor could have preserved the privilege by acting promptly after obtaining judgment.
