Question juridique clé
Whether the cantonal court correctly limited the lifted amount by applying proportional allocation among several pledged properties.
Solution extraite
The cantonal court violated Art. 798 para. 3 CC by using an allocation method other than proportional allocation; the secured debt had to be apportioned according to the relative nominal values of the pledged securities.
Motifs extraits
The bank had not made a contrary allocation choice; therefore the statutory proportional allocation rule applied. For the parcel at issue, this yielded a secured amount of CHF 305,845.60, not CHF 287,480.
