Art. 6 Legge del 4 dicembre 1947 di procedura civile federale (PC)
PC; Titolo secondo: Principi generali di procedura; Sospensione del processo
Art. 6 PC
Il giudice può disporre che il processo sia sospeso per ragioni di opportunità, in particolar modo quando si deve risolvere un’altra contestazione la cui definizione può influire sulla decisione della causa.
Il processo è sospeso per legge nei casi specialmente previsti, come pure per la morte di una parte.
In quest’ultimo caso il giudice può disporre che il processo sia ripreso quando la rinuncia all’eredità non è più possibile o è stata ordinata la liquidazione d’ufficio. I processi urgenti possono essere ripresi anche prima dal rappresentante dell’eredità.
Se il giudice non ottiene, né dalla comunione ereditaria né dalla controparte, le indicazioni necessarie sulla legittimazione degli eredi a continuare il processo, la causa viene stralciata dal ruolo.
