Question juridique clé
Whether the debt collection venue at the former seat of the partnership could still be used for a foreign-resident general partner after the partnership was bankrupt and later deleted from the commercial register.
Solution extraite
Yes. The venue under Art. 50 SchKG was validly established because the collection request was filed within the six-month period of Art. 40 SchKG, indeed before that period even started to run; later bankruptcy closure and deletion did not affect the fixed venue.
Motifs extraits
For persons subject to commercial register publication, Art. 40 SchKG allows exchange debt collection for six months after the register deletion is published. What matters is the filing of the collection request within that period. Once the venue is fixed, later changes in the register status have no influence.
