Question juridique clé
Whether ongoing income can constitute new assets under Art. 265(2) SchKG.
Solution extraite
Yes. Current income counts as new assets to the extent it exceeds what is necessary for a standard of living appropriate to the debtor's circumstances.
Motifs extraits
The court preferred a teleological interpretation of Art. 265(2) SchKG: the provision protects the debtor's post-bankruptcy recovery, but does not require shielding income that could be saved. The creditor need not wait to see whether the debtor accumulates savings, and the debtor has no general duty to build savings for creditors.
