Question juridique clé
Whether Art. 209(2) LP gives a pledged creditor priority to post-bankruptcy interest when sale proceeds do not fully cover capital plus pre-bankruptcy interest of all pledged claims.
Solution extraite
No. Post-bankruptcy interest may be paid only if the gage proceeds exceed all pledged claims, including capital and interest accrued until bankruptcy.
Motifs extraits
The Court held that pledged claims must first be satisfied in their entirety for capital and accrued interest up to bankruptcy. Only any surplus may be used for interest accruing between bankruptcy and realization. Because the proceeds were insufficient to cover the respondent's secured claim fully, the bank could not claim the additional interest amount.
