Art. 271 LEF

Per i crediti scaduti, in quanto non siano garantiti da pegno, il creditore può chiedere il sequestro dei beni del debitore che si trovano in Svizzera: 1. quando il debitore non abbia domicilio fisso; 2. quando il debitore, nell’intenzione di sottrarsi all’adempimento delle sue obbligazioni, trafughi i suoi beni, si renda latitante o si prepari a prendere la fuga; 3. quando il debitore sia di passaggio o appartenga al ceto delle persone che frequentano le fiere ed i mercati e si tratti di crediti per loro natura immediatamente esigibili; 4. quando il debitore non dimori in Svizzera, se non vi è altra causa di sequestro, ma il credito abbia un legame sufficiente con la Svizzera o si fondi su un riconoscimento di debito ai sensi dell’articolo 82 capoverso 1; 5. quando al creditore sia stato rilasciato nei confronti del debitore un attestato provvisorio o definitivo di carenza di beni; 6. quando il creditore possieda nei confronti del debitore un titolo definitivo di rigetto dell’opposizione.

Nei casi contemplati ai numeri 1 e 2 il sequestro si può domandare altresì per crediti non ancora scaduti; esso produce, rimpetto al debitore, la scadenza del credito.

Nel caso contemplato al capoverso 1 numero 6, se si tratta di una decisione straniera da eseguire secondo la Convenzione del 30 ottobre 2007 concernente la competenza giurisdizionale, il riconoscimento e l’esecuzione delle decisioni in materia civile e commerciale, il giudice pronuncia anche sull’esecutività della stessa.
