Question juridique clé
Whether the transfer of agricultural parcels between two separate companies controlled by the same shareholder is an acquisition requiring authorization under the LDFR.
Solution extraite
Yes. The transaction was a transfer of ownership and therefore an acquisition subject to authorization; no exception under Art. 62 LDFR applied.
Motifs extraits
The companies are legally distinct, so the planned sale was an ownership transfer in the real-rights sense. Economic identity of the shareholder structures did not remove the transaction from Art. 61 LDFR.
