Questione giuridica chiave
Whether Art. 68 SchKG requires the creditor to advance realization costs for seized real estate.
Decisione estratta
Yes. Realization costs are enforcement costs within Art. 68 SchKG and must be advanced by the creditor.
Motivazione estratta
The Court held that realization is the essential part of enforcement, so its costs fall under 'Betreibungskosten'. The purpose of Art. 68 is to prevent the office from having to act without security for fees and expenses.
