Question juridique clé
Whether the debtor could still invoke beneficium excussionis realis under Art. 41 Abs. 1bis SchKG
Solution extraite
No, because the creditor had proved return of the relevant bearer mortgage note, so the debtor could no longer insist on pledge enforcement.
Motifs extraits
The cantonal findings on return of the mortgage note were not shown to be arbitrary. The debtor's criticism was merely appellatory and did not meet the strict standard for challenging factual findings. A pledge relationship depends on actual pledge possession; without it, the creditor is not effectively a pledge creditor entitled to be sent to pledge realization.
