Key legal question
Whether the lawyers were entitled to appeal the enforcement office's information request under Art. 17 SchKG
Extracted holding
Yes. Any person affected in protected or factual interests may complain; the lawyers had a personal interest because they risked breaching professional secrecy if they disclosed information before a duty to inform had arisen.
Extracted reasoning
The Court extended its settled case law on third-party holders, including banks, to lawyers. Professional secrecy does not bar a complaint against an information request under Art. 91(4) SchKG.
