Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the land register had to enter the initial debtor's name on the mortgage certificate
Decisione estratta
No. The land register was entitled to refuse the request; the name of the debtor is not a mandatory element of the mortgage certificate.
Motivazione estratta
The revised land register ordinance no longer requires the debtor’s name on the certificate. The creditor cannot rely on that indication anyway, because the debtor may change independently of the title. The certificate remains valid as a legally atypical security paper even without the debtor’s name.
