Question juridique clé
Whether a cost advance may be required for bankruptcy liquidation of a renounced estate under Art. 193 SchKG
Solution extraite
Yes. By reference to Art. 194 Abs. 1 SchKG and Art. 169 SchKG, the applicant for estate bankruptcy liquidation may be required to advance the costs; if not paid, bankruptcy need not be opened.
Motifs extraits
The statutory cross-reference is clear, legislative materials confirm it, and the rule would be undermined if the court had to open bankruptcy despite non-payment.
