Key legal question
Whether Art. 209(2) LP requires post-bankruptcy interest to be calculated only on first-ranking pledged claims, excluding later-ranking pledges.
Extracted holding
No. Art. 209(2) LP applies to all pledged claims on the realized asset taken together, without separating them by rank.
Extracted reasoning
The statutory text and legislative intent require the sale proceeds to satisfy all pledged claims up to bankruptcy, before any post-bankruptcy interest can be covered. The provision derogates from Art. 85 CO and does not grant an individualized priority to first-ranking pledge creditors.
