Question juridique clé
Whether the complaint period under Art. 33(2) SchKG had to be extended for a debtor domiciled abroad.
Solution extraite
The cantonal authority did not abuse its discretion in refusing an extension; the circumstances still allowed the debtor to react and instruct counsel within the ordinary period.
Motifs extraits
Although Art. 33(2) SchKG may justify a longer period for parties abroad, its application leaves room for discretion. Here, the debtor had already reacted immediately, had long been familiar with the proceedings, and was able to contact counsel within three days and file the complaint shortly thereafter; therefore ten days were sufficient.
