Key legal question
Whether a realization request in pledge enforcement can be addressed to the third-party owner of the pledged property
Extracted holding
No. In pledge enforcement, the debtor of the claim is the proceeded-against debtor only; the third-party owner of the pledge is not the debtor.
Extracted reasoning
Consistent case law holds that the enforcement is directed against the personal debtor. Since Widmer was only the pledge owner, the office could not validly treat him as the person against whom the realization request had to be filed.
