Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the respondent S.________ was entitled to challenge the sale although he had been treated as bidder in his own name.
Decisione estratta
The Supreme Court held that the lower court’s finding that the 27 March 2013 bid was made by S.________ was not arbitrary; R.________ SA had not itself participated in the bidding and therefore lacked standing.
Motivazione estratta
The email language showed a prior bid being improved, the new offer amounted to CHF 57,000, and the CHF 5,000 deposit could only be credited to S.________. The later mandate notice for R.________ SA reached the office only on 28 March 2013.
