Question juridique clé
Whether Art. 68 SchKG requires the creditor to advance realization costs for seized real estate.
Solution extraite
Yes. Realization costs are enforcement costs within Art. 68 SchKG and must be advanced by the creditor.
Motifs extraits
The Court held that realization is the essential part of enforcement, so its costs fall under 'Betreibungskosten'. The purpose of Art. 68 is to prevent the office from having to act without security for fees and expenses.
