Question juridique clé
Whether the internal debt assumption agreement is a debt acknowledgment allowing provisional lift of opposition in security proceedings.
Solution extraite
Yes. The agreement constituted a debt acknowledgment for the purpose of security enforcement.
Motifs extraits
An internal debt assumption agreement aims at releasing the debtor; the external debt assumption is only a mode of performance. No separate acknowledgment of a duty to provide security is needed because Art. 175(3) CO itself grounds the claim.
