Key legal question
Whether the complaint against the heir representative was subject to security for costs under Fribourg CPC Art. 117
Extracted holding
The court held that the question could not be resolved in the appellant's favor, but the refusal was not arbitrary because the request was not quantified and could be rejected on that basis.
Extracted reasoning
Although the supervisory complaint over an heir representative is treated as a two-party civil procedure for costs purposes, the appellant merely requested an 'appropriate' amount instead of a quantified security. In light of the cantonal pleading rule requiring quantified claims, summary rejection of the unquantified request was not arbitrary.
