Key legal question
Whether the appeal against the justice of peace's subsequent letters was admissible as a decision under non-contentious appeal rules.
Extracted holding
The letters merely requested payment from an heir and did not alter R.________'s legal position; they were therefore not appealable decisions.
Extracted reasoning
Only decisions are subject to the non-contentious appeal under Arts. 489 ss CPC-VD. The challenged correspondence did not decide rights or obligations, but only invited payment.
