Key legal question
Whether the Federal Court may review the appropriateness of maintenance allowances under Art. 229(2) SchKG.
Extracted holding
The Federal Court will not review the discretionary appropriateness of such allowances; that assessment belongs primarily to the bankruptcy administrator and, at most, to the cantonal supervisory authority.
Extracted reasoning
Under Art. 19 SchKG, the federal supervisory authority does not reassess the administrator's discretion on the expediency of maintenance payments.
