Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the bankruptcy office could transfer the deceased tenant's lease under Art. 230a SchKG despite no ordered liquidation of the repudiated estate.
Extrahierter Entscheid
No. A transfer under Art. 230a SchKG presupposes that the bankruptcy court has ordered the bankruptcy liquidation, or that bankruptcy was opened and later suspended for lack of assets.
Extrahierte Begründung
Art. 573 ZGB determines the competent body for liquidation, but the procedure is governed by the SchKG. Under Art. 193 SchKG only the court orders the liquidation; without that order the bankruptcy office lacks competence to act. The office cannot bypass the missing court order.
