Question juridique clé
Whether a debt-enforcement complaint containing insulting and unseemly language may be returned without being considered until amended.
Solution extraite
Yes. The authority may refuse to consider the filing until the offensive remarks are removed; this rule applies in debt-enforcement proceedings as a general federal procedural rule.
Motifs extraits
The Court relied on its prior case law holding that Art. 39(3) OG, allowing return of unreadable or unseemly submissions for correction, is a general federal rule applicable to debt-enforcement proceedings. The authority even acted more leniently than required by not setting a formal deadline, so there was no denial of justice.
