Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the first-instance judgment rendered after the employer's bankruptcy had to be annulled because the proceedings were suspended by law under Art. 207 LEF.
Decisione estratta
Even if the case were urgent, the court had to give the bankruptcy estate an opportunity to decide whether to continue the case or accept the claim; deciding on the merits without that opportunity was a denial of justice.
Motivazione estratta
The purpose of suspension is to allow the estate and creditors to determine the fate of pending litigation. A mere telephone notice of bankruptcy did not waive suspension or amount to consent to continuation.
