Key legal question
Whether a federal appeal lies against a cantonal supervisory authority's decision fixing liquidator compensation under a composition agreement with assignment of assets.
Extracted holding
No. Such a decision is not one of the decisions on liquidator remuneration that federal law itself makes appealable; if the supervisory authority decides anyway, it does so only as an arbitral body designated by the composition agreement.
Extracted reasoning
The SchKG fee tariff contains no rules on remuneration for liquidation in a composition agreement with assignment of assets. The agreement itself may determine the remuneration or its method. Therefore, cantonal supervisory authorities are not called upon by federal law to decide such claims. Only decisions expressly provided for by federal law may be appealed to the Federal Court.
