Questão jurídica principal
Whether Swiss courts had international jurisdiction to order separation/provisional measures while a divorce case was already pending in Prague
Decisão extraída
Swiss courts lacked ordinary jurisdiction under Art. 46 IPRG once the foreign divorce action was pending, but they could still order provisional measures under Art. 10 IPRG because immediate protection was needed.
Fundamentação extraída
For internationally pending divorce proceedings, Swiss courts may issue urgent provisional measures when the foreign forum is not expected to grant timely or enforceable protection and there is a need for immediate relief. The mere dispute over the husband's domicile did not make the foreign divorce court's lack of jurisdiction obvious.
