Questão jurídica principal
Whether missing the Art. 278(2) SchKG deadline nullifies the request for provisional opening or only causes lapse of the arrest.
Decisão extraída
The deadline serves to prevent delay and protect the arrest from lingering; missing it does not extinguish the right to request opening, but only causes the arrest to lapse, and here the enforcement remained pending.
Fundamentação extraída
The court held that the direct consequence of lateness is not loss of the opening right or the claim, but lapse of the arrest. Only if the enforcement itself falls away with the arrest does opening become impossible.
