Questione giuridica chiave
Whether Art. 229 SchKG applies to bankrupt legal persons.
Decisione estratta
Yes. The provision also applies in bankruptcy proceedings against legal persons; the organs of the legal person replace the debtor for purposes of presence and information duties.
Motivazione estratta
There is no reason to treat legal persons more favorably than natural persons in bankruptcy. The bankruptcy authority must obtain information from the persons who acted for the company before bankruptcy and who alone can explain its business conduct and assets.
