Questione giuridica chiave
Whether a married woman subject to legal guardianship may be pursued in Switzerland at her place of stay when her husband-lawful representative resides abroad.
Decisione estratta
Yes. The special venue of Art. 47(1) SchKG does not apply when the legal representative has his domicile abroad; in that case enforcement may proceed in Switzerland at the debtor's place of residence or stay.
Motivazione estratta
The husband was presumed to be domiciled in the United States. The federal court held that the special enforcement venue for the representative is limited to Swiss territory and therefore cannot exclude enforcement at the debtor's Swiss place of stay.
