Questione giuridica chiave
Whether a third party may challenge the bankruptcy office’s treatment of assets after the bankruptcy has been closed.
Decisione estratta
No. Once the bankruptcy court has ordered closure, the bankruptcy administration no longer has authority to dispose of estate assets, and a complaint under Art. 17 SchKG can no longer be used to attack measures taken during the proceedings in order to obtain new instructions to the office.
Motivazione estratta
The closure order is effective and binding. After closure, only post-discovered assets under Art. 269 SchKG may be dealt with, which was not the case here. The requested orders against the office could therefore no longer be issued.
