Questão jurídica principal
Whether a creditor whose own claim was excluded from the collocation schedule must challenge a third party’s admitted claim within 20 days from publication, even if her own status is still disputed.
Decisão extraída
Yes. The 20-day period under Art. 250 LP runs from publication of the challenged collocation entry, and the action against the third party must be filed immediately; it is then suspended until the claimant’s own status is resolved.
Fundamentação extraída
The Court aligned with the prevailing doctrine, the statutory text, and the public interest in rapid and final liquidation. Allowing a creditor to wait until her own collocation action is decided would undermine the immutability of the collocation schedule and the speed of bankruptcy administration.
