Question juridique clé
Whether the request for written reasons was timely despite the party's absence from the hearing.
Solution extraite
The ten-day period for requesting written reasons did not start by a fictitious delivery at the hearing to an absent party; the request was therefore timely.
Motifs extraits
A judgment can be handed over at the hearing only to a physically present party. Art. 138(3)(b) ZPO concerns service, not handover, and neither cantonal practice nor a notice in the summons can create a statutory fiction of delivery not provided by the ZPO.
