Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the bankruptcy organs could decide Kottmann's claim for compensation against the estate for use of his barrels.
Extrahierter Entscheid
No. The bankruptcy administration and creditors' committee were not competent to issue a binding decision on the existence and scope of this estate claim; the dispute had to be brought before the civil court.
Extrahierte Begründung
Kottmann asserted a post-bankruptcy claim against the estate, i.e. as a third party vis-à-vis the bankruptcy. A material dispute over such a claim lies exclusively within the jurisdiction of the judge, not the bankruptcy organs or the supervisory authority.
