Kernrechtsfrage
Whether a business firm may be elected as special bankruptcy administration under Art. 237(2) SchKG.
Extrahierter Entscheid
No. The statute contemplates individual persons, not business firms, for special bankruptcy administration.
Extrahierte Begründung
The wording of Art. 237(2) SchKG, the nature of the office, and its statutory position all indicate that only natural persons may be appointed. Special bankruptcy administrations perform official functions and are, under Art. 241 SchKG, aligned with bankruptcy offices in duties, liability, and complaint rights; like those offices, they must be staffed by individuals.
