Key legal question
Whether the new claims seeking annulment of the debt collection and denial of effect to the mainlevée judgment were admissible in the divorce appeal.
Extracted holding
The claims were inadmissible because the appeal did not validly challenge all independent grounds given by the cantonal court, and the attack was largely appellatory.
Extracted reasoning
The Federal Tribunal held that the cantonal court relied on several sufficient and independent reasons, including the procedural incompatibility of combining an action under Art. 85a LP with ordinary divorce proceedings. The appellant did not adequately refute that ground under the strict requirements for a public-law appeal.
