ATA/707/1998•LDTR authorization required for forced auction resale
ATA/707/1998Corte di giustizia / Camera amministrativa10 nov 1998Partially Granted
Estratto da Omnilex
The case concerned a forced auction sale of an apartment subject to the Geneva LDTR. The authorities had not granted prior authorization for the sale. The court held that the LDTR authorization requirements also apply to forced alienations, but it refused to annul the auction on grounds of good faith and legal certainty. It then granted the buyer authorization to resell, finding that proportionality favored the buyer because the apartment had already effectively left the rental market.
Art. 25 and 39 LDTR; forced auction sale of an apartment subject to alienation restrictions: the authorization regime applies also to forced sales under the LP. However, where the sale was carried out without prior authorization, the court may, in light of good faith and legal certainty, refrain from declaring the auction null under Art. 22 para. 1 LP. In the concrete balance of interests, proportionality may require granting authorization for resale if the dwelling has in fact already left the rental housing market and the purchaser’s interest in alienation outweighs the protected public interests.

LDTR.39
Résumé
Les restrictions au droit d'aliéner un immeuble prévues par la LDTR sont applicables en cas de vente aux enchères forcées, en particulier les art. 25 et 39 LDTR. En vertu du principe de la bonne foi, la vente aux enchères d'espèce ne sera cependant pas annulée, bien qu'elle n'ait pas été soumise à autorisation du DAEL. De même, il découle du principe de proportionnalité que le droit du recourant à pouvoir aliéner l'appartement ainsi acquis doit prévaloir sur les intérêts publiés protégés par la LDTR, sous peine de léser gravement la sécurité du droit. La LDTR soumet également à autorisation l'aliénation forcée d'appartements au sens de la LP. Une vente aux enchères d'appartements organisée sans qu'une autorisation au sens de l'art. 39 al. 1 LDTR n'ait été octroyée, est une mesure nulle au sens de l'art. 22 al. 1 LP. L'acquéreur ayant sollicité l'autorisation de revendre l'appartement, les motifs de sécurité du droit conduisent toutefois dans ce cas à ne pas constater la nullité de la vente aux enchères et à examiner la revente sous l'angle de la LDTR. L'autorisation est accordée en conformité avec le principe de la proportionnalité, l'appartement concerné étant de facto déjà sorti du marché des logements à louer.

Whether LDTR restrictions on alienation apply to a forced auction sale of an apartment.
Yes. Articles 25 and 39 LDTR also apply to forced sales, including auction sales of apartments.
The court treated forced alienation of an apartment as subject to the LDTR authorization regime.
Whether the auction sale must be annulled as null for lack of LDTR authorization.
No. Although the sale was unauthorized, the principle of good faith and legal certainty justified not annulling the auction retroactively.
Setting aside the sale would seriously undermine legal certainty; therefore nullity was not formally declared.
Whether authorization to resell the apartment should be granted.
Yes. Proportionality required allowing the resale because the apartment had in practice already left the rental market.
The buyer's right to alienate prevailed over the protected public interests under the LDTR in the concrete circumstances.
