Questione giuridica chiave
Did the appeal period under Art. 19 SchKG begin with the enforcement office's letters of 14 and 18 May 1900?
Decisione estratta
Yes. The appellant had full knowledge of the contested decision through the office's clear communications, which counted as effective notification under Art. 19 SchKG.
Motivazione estratta
Notification need not come directly from the deciding authority. It is sufficient if the office whose act was challenged clearly informs the party of the supervisory decision when implementing it. The federal ordinance of 24 December 1892 was treated as an organizational rule, not as a mandatory exclusive method of notification.
