Question juridique clé
Whether Article 59 of the Federal Constitution barred the provocation action before the court competent for the merits.
Solution extraite
No. The provocation action is only a procedural preliminary measure linked to the main action, not an independent private-law claim.
Motifs extraits
Because the measure merely initiates a procedure compelling the creditor to sue within a set time, Article 59 does not apply; it may be brought before the judge competent for the main dispute.
