Key legal question
Whether party compensation could be awarded in debt-collection complaint proceedings under Art. 62(2) OELP.
Extracted holding
No party compensation may be awarded in complaint proceedings under Arts. 17-19 LP; each party bears its own costs.
Extracted reasoning
The Federal Court held that Art. 62(2) OELP bars dépens in complaint proceedings and that the cantonal supervisory authority had to apply that federal rule, unlike ordinary civil litigation.
