Questão jurídica principal
Whether the seizure had lapsed because the creditor did not request debt-collection continuation or mainlevée within 10 days after opposition.
Decisão extraída
No. A foreign civil action pending in Turkey could still validate the seizure, and lapse could not be declared on that ground alone.
Fundamentação extraída
Under Art. 279 LP, a seizure may be validated by a debt-collection proceeding or an action. An action brought abroad can validate a seizure if the foreign judgment is enforceable in Switzerland. Because a Turkish action was pending and Swiss recognition of the Turkish judgment had not been obtained, the lapse could not be declared.
