Question juridique clé
Whether the cessionary could seek payment of damages directly to itself rather than to the bankrupt estate
Solution extraite
Yes. A creditor who has obtained the cession of the estate's claims under Art. 260 LP may sue in its own name and conclude for payment into its own hands, although it acts for the estate and must account for the proceeds.
Motifs extraits
The court distinguished direct damage from damage to the company and held that the cessionary exercises the estate's action under Art. 757 CO and Art. 260 LP; nothing prevents a prayer for relief payable directly to the cessionary.
