Kernrechtsfrage
Whether bankruptcy must be opened despite payment of debt when party costs of the bankruptcy proceeding remain unpaid.
Extrahierter Entscheid
A bankruptcy petition may be refused for payment only if the debtor also pays the creditor's party compensation incurred in the bankruptcy proceeding.
Extrahierte Begründung
Under Art. 172 No. 3 SchKG, the debt's discharge includes costs. Party costs in summary debt-enforcement proceedings count as enforcement costs under Art. 68 SchKG, and the debtor must settle them to avert bankruptcy.
