Key legal question
Whether bankruptcy without prior debt enforcement was permissible because the company failed to pay the cost advance for appointment of a missing auditor.
Extracted holding
No. The open gap in Art. 727f OR does not justify creating a new bankruptcy ground; bankruptcy without prior debt enforcement is unavailable absent a statutory bankruptcy ground such as cessation of payments or overindebtedness.
Extracted reasoning
The court held that the legislature left a gap regarding consequences when the company does not pay the advance for appointing an auditor, but later legislative reform showed that the appropriate response is organizational measures under company law, not expansion of bankruptcy grounds under SchKG. Since no statutory ground for bankruptcy without prior debt enforcement was established, the bankruptcy order could not stand.
