Resumo

Scarpa stopped advance maintenance payments after the debtor allegedly evaded enforcement by changing address, abandoning domicile, and leaving jobs that could be traced. The court held that such conduct amounts to self-created insolvency and justified ending the advances. The challenged cessation was therefore upheld.

Regest

LARPA.11; advance maintenance payments may be discontinued where the debtor has deliberately rendered himself insolvent by evasive conduct. Self-created insolvency is established not only by formal inability to pay, but also by conduct aimed at frustrating enforcement, such as repeated changes of address, abandonment of domicile, and termination of traceable employment. In such circumstances, the administering body is entitled to cease advances because the statutory purpose of temporary assistance no longer justifies continued payment.

Résumé

Le Scarpa est en droit de cesser ses avances également lorsque le débiteur a organisé son insolvabilité par des changements d'adresse, des abandons de domicile et diverses autres manoeuvres de dérobade, soit face aux autorités, soit en abandonnant tout emploi qui pourrait être signalé.
