Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the enforcement office must set the creditor a deadline to file a debt-recognition action or seek lifting of the opposition, failing which the debt collection is deemed withdrawn.
Decisione estratta
No. In ordinary debt enforcement, the office has neither the power nor the duty to compel the creditor to take that step.
Motivazione estratta
The Federal Tribunal reaffirmed its case law favoring the debtor's negative declaratory action as the remedy for unjustified enforcement. The proposed office-based summons would go beyond legislative intent, ignore the expiry of the payment order, and contradict the principle that after opposition the initiative lies with the creditor.
