Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the payment order was validly served on the company's board president at his private address, with substitute service to his spouse.
Decisione estratta
Yes. A payment order against a legal entity may be served directly on a representative named in Art. 65 SchKG even outside the business premises, and substitute service under Art. 64 SchKG applies when that person is not personally found at home.
Motivazione estratta
The Court reaffirmed its case law that Art. 65 SchKG does not require prior attempted service at the business premises. Where personal service at the representative's home fails, Art. 64 SchKG supplements Art. 65 SchKG; service to an adult household member is sufficient.
