Key legal question
Whether the setoff rules of bankruptcy, via analogy to Art. 297 para. 4 SchKG, apply to inventory benefit proceedings before liquidation of the estate.
Extracted holding
Yes. The Court held that the gap in the law is a genuine one and that bankruptcy setoff restrictions apply by analogy during the inventory benefit procedure.
Extracted reasoning
The legislature had equated comparable periods and sought to prevent abuses; creditors of the deceased face similar risks to creditors in a moratorium, so the law must be completed under Art. 1 para. 2 CC.
