Question juridique clé
Whether the bankruptcy office had to provide extensive copies of bankruptcy records upon request under Art. 8(2) SchKG
Solution extraite
The debtor had to first inspect the file and then specify the documents or parts of documents for which he had a concrete legal interest in copies or extracts; the office was not obliged to produce a large number of extensive copies on an unspecific request.
Motifs extraits
File inspection was available, the requested copying work would have required considerable effort, and the appellant had to spare unnecessary administrative work by identifying the relevant documents first. A right to copies under Art. 8(2) SchKG presupposes a specific request and a legal interest in each individual copy or excerpt.
