Questão jurídica principal
Whether a debt enforcement request filed before the foreign merits judgment is premature under Art. 279 para. 4 LP.
Decisão extraída
No. Art. 279 para. 4 LP only prevents filing after the ten-day period has expired once the foreign judgment is notified; filing earlier is permissible.
Fundamentação extraída
The provision sets a deadline for validation, not the earliest moment for taking the step. A creditor may initiate enforcement before the foreign judgment is notified, provided later steps comply with the statute.
