Question juridique clé
Whether the social insurance court had competence to decide the request for definitive mainlevée of objection
Solution extraite
No. The request was inadmissible because, under cantonal law, competence lay with the justice of the peace, not with the court seized solely of a mainlevée request.
Motifs extraits
The court held that Art. 42b al. 2 LVLP allows another judicial authority to grant mainlevée only when it is already seized of a pecuniary claim of the same object. Here, the applicant sought only mainlevée, not a monetary judgment; therefore the social insurance court was not competent.
