Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the bankruptcy office could accept the appellant’s payment to the respondents and exclude them from the bankruptcy proceedings.
Extrahierter Entscheid
No. The office had to consider the creditors’ interests and could not use the payment to bypass the pending collocation dispute without the respondents’ consent.
Extrahierte Begründung
The office must protect the estate while treating creditors equally. In a collocation dispute, the contest is for the collocation judge and the parties to decide; the office may not intervene to terminate the litigation by preferring one creditor’s interest over the others.
