Kernrechtsfrage
Whether separate bankruptcy proceedings against two different spouses may be combined into one ordinary proceeding.
Extrahierter Entscheid
No. Once two separate bankruptcy judgments exist against two different persons, each must be completed in its own proceeding; joint liquidation is possible only by agreement of the parties.
Extrahierte Begründung
The bankruptcy judgments were legally binding on the office and supervisory authorities. Their validity was not open to review in this complaint, which attacked only later acts in the administration of the estates. Because the two bankruptcies concerned different persons and no agreement for a joint liquidation was alleged, consolidation could not be ordered.
