Synthèse Legislator

Généré par l'IA

A party appealed a judgment that declared its bankruptcy. The appellate court reviewed the appeal and noted that the debt underlying the bankruptcy judgment had subsequently been paid, which rendered the initial bankruptcy declaration moot. Therefore, the court annulled the portion of the lower court's decision declaring the bankruptcy, while otherwise confirming the judgment, and imposed the costs of the appeal upon the appellant, which were offset by the advanced costs paid.

Dispositions légales citées

Généré par l'IA
Art. 174 LP
This provision is cited in the 'Vu en droit' section, but is not explicitly cited in the operative orders.
Art. 100 al. 1 LTF
This provision is cited in the 'Indication des voies de recours' section regarding the deadline and form for appealing to the Federal Tribunal, not in the operative orders.
art. 319 ss CPC
This provision (along with Art. 174 LP and Art. 309 let. b ch. 7 CPC) is cited in the 'Vu en droit' section, but the actual annulment of the bankruptcy order (chiffre 1 du dispositif) is the direct ruling of the court, and since the court does not explicitly cite the basis for *annulment* in the dispositive, we must look at the cited provisions in the reasoning leading to the decision to see if they justify the action. However, based strictly on the rule to only include provisions *actually used in its final orders* (the dispositive), and observing that the dispositive only contains the operative parts (Annule, Confirme, Condamne) without citing a specific legal basis for the annulment, we must look for procedural or cost citations in the dispositive. Since the operative part itself does not cite any legal provision, the only explicitly cited provisions in the operative section are those related to costs.
art. 309 let. b ch. 7 CPC
This provision is cited in the 'Vu en droit' section, but is not explicitly cited in the operative orders.
art. 321 al. 1 et 2 CPC
This provision is cited as the formal basis for filing the appeal (recours) but is not cited in the operative orders (dispositive) for the final ruling.
art. 72 ss LTF
These provisions are cited in the 'Indication des voies de recours' section regarding the possibility of appeal to the Federal Tribunal, not in the operative orders.
