Question juridique clé
Whether 3a assets acquired during the ordinary matrimonial regime must be valued at the dissolution date or at liquidation.
Solution extraite
3a assets are part of the matrimonial property mass; their composition is fixed at dissolution, but valuation is generally made at liquidation, with post-dissolution interest excluded and value fluctuations considered.
Motifs extraits
The court distinguished between the date fixing the composition of the matrimonial masses and the date for valuation. For bank savings and insurance surrender values, the dissolution date fixes inclusion in acquêts, whereas liquidation date governs valuation; post-dissolution interest does not increase the estimated value.
