Kernrechtsfrage
Whether a creditor who files a bankruptcy claim late may request assignment of the estate’s claims under Art. 260 LP.
Extrahierter Entscheid
A late-filing creditor is not barred as a matter of principle from requesting and obtaining assignment of the estate’s claims; the office could not refuse the request solely because the claim was late.
Extrahierte Begründung
Art. 251 LP allows late filing until closure of the bankruptcy, and the assignment right under Art. 260 LP is linked to the status of collocated creditor. The office must first decide whether the late claim is admitted to the schedule of claims; if admitted, the creditor may in principle invoke the assignment right. A categorical refusal based only on lateness is unjustified.
