Key legal question
Whether the Federal Supreme Court proceedings should be resumed after the respondent's death
Extracted holding
The proceedings were resumed and continued against the testamentary executor in the estate of X.
Extracted reasoning
Under Art. 6 PCF by reference of Art. 71 LTF, proceedings are suspended upon a party's death and may be resumed when the estate can no longer be repudiated or, for urgent cases, upon request by the estate representative. Here an executor testamentary had been appointed and requested resumption.
