Question juridique clé
Whether approval for the purchase had to be refused because B. was not a self-manager under Art. 63 and Art. 9 BGBB.
Solution extraite
The department correctly found that the planned acquisition lacked a sufficiently credible intention and practical possibility of self-management.
Motifs extraits
The surrounding circumstances, especially B.'s and his family's full-time non-agricultural employment and lack of convincing preparatory steps, created serious doubts. For the acquisition of a single agricultural parcel, the intent to farm must be particularly credible.
