Questão jurídica principal
Whether the conditions for bankruptcy without prior debt collection under Art. 190(1)(2) SchKG were met because the debtor had suspended payments.
Decisão extraída
Yes. The debtor's long-standing refusal to pay an important, business-related rent debt, despite lacking liquidities, amounted to suspension of payments.
Fundamentação extraída
Suspension of payments is shown by non-payment of undisputed due debts and may exist even if not all debts are unpaid. A single but significant and durable refusal, especially toward the main creditor and for an essential business expense, is sufficient. The debtor's payment of other creditors did not alter this assessment.
