Question juridique clé
Whether the cantonal supervisory authority abused its discretion by adopting the second expert valuation of the mortgaged property.
Solution extraite
No. The authority could rely on the second expert's methodology and conclusions given the property's exceptional characteristics.
Motifs extraits
The Court held that valuation in forced sale proceedings serves only as a reference for likely market value, not the highest possible price. In such matters the Federal Supreme Court interferes only for procedural violations or abuse/excess of discretion. The appellants' objections, including the shorter length of the second report and the different outcome, did not show any improper appraisal.
