Key legal question
Whether the 4 May 1999 transfer and sale was revocable under Art. 288 LP because it prejudiced creditors.
Extracted holding
The act did not justify revocation because, although some assets were transferred, the debtor's disposable estate was not shown to be reduced in a legally relevant way as to the decisive non-encumbered assets.
Extracted reasoning
The court held that prejudice under Art. 288 LP depends on whether the creditor is worse off in enforcement than without the challenged act. The transfer of the unencumbered parcels deprived the creditor of a realizable asset, but the overall exchange value paid by the sons exceeded the transferred assets by at least CHF 300,000.
