Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the creditor had to pursue the deficiency claim by real estate foreclosure rather than bankruptcy after realizing pledged mortgage notes.
Extrahierter Entscheid
No. The deficiency claim arising from the realization of the pledged mortgage notes was no longer secured and could be pursued anew by debt collection leading to bankruptcy.
Extrahierte Begründung
Upon realization of the pledged titles, the creditor suffered a loss and acquired a deficiency claim that is not itself covered by the pledge. The fact that the creditor became holder of the mortgage-note claims through purchase at the realization sale did not change the character of the present proceeding, which concerned only the deficiency claim.
