Question juridique clé
Whether Art. 298 SchKG bars the entry of a building lien during a moratorium.
Solution extraite
Art. 298 SchKG does not apply to the entry of a building lien; the lien may still be entered during the moratorium.
Motifs extraits
The duty to tolerate the creation of a building lien under Art. 837(1) no. 3 ZGB is an obligatio propter rem attached to the land itself. As in bankruptcy, the land remains subject to this legal encumbrance, and the same applies analogously during a moratorium. Denying the lien would frustrate the statutory security intended for contractors who added value to the property.
