Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the canton was liable under Art. 5 LP for not informing the buyer immediately of a creditor’s opposition to the private sale.
Extrahierter Entscheid
Even assuming the omission was unlawful, the buyer failed to show a causal link between the omission and his alleged losses.
Extrahierte Begründung
The buyer learned shortly afterward that an opposition existed, nevertheless proceeded with preparations and later ignored the obstacle; the claimed losses would have occurred anyway, and other causes, especially the inability to obtain premises, broke the causal chain.
