Key legal question
Whether creditors may use a complaint under Art. 17(3) SchKG to seek removal of a special bankruptcy administrator for inactivity and unjustified delay.
Extracted holding
Yes. A complaint for denial of justice or unjustified delay may include a request to revoke a special bankruptcy administrator who remains inactive and fails to perform the tasks for which he was appointed.
Extracted reasoning
The surveillance authority under Art. 17(3) SchKG must remedy the causes of delay and may, in certain cases, annul a delayed measure. The cantonal courts wrongly denied standing by treating the request as requiring a separate injunctive claim.
