Question juridique clé
Whether the revised SchKG time limits apply to an avoidance action where the challenged transfer predated 1 January 1997 but the attachment and lawsuit occurred later.
Solution extraite
The revised SchKG applies; for the suspicious period under Art. 288 SchKG the relevant reference point is the attachment, not the date of the challenged act, so no transition problem arises.
Motifs extraits
The suspicious period is not a running procedural deadline but a backward-looking temporal criterion tied to the attachment or bankruptcy; therefore, under the transitional rules and intertemporal principles, the new law governs once the attachment occurred after 1 January 1997.
