Key legal question
Whether the appeal against the commercial register office’s decision was admissible.
Extracted holding
No. Because the dispute concerned an entry already effected in the commercial register, the appellant had to bring an opposition request before the competent civil court, not an appeal before the supervisory chamber.
Extracted reasoning
Under Art. 162(5) ORC, third parties opposing an entry already made in the journal are referred to the court. The chamber noted that, although it is the supervisory authority for commercial register matters, the proper procedural route in this situation is a civil-law opposition action.
