Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the claims and trademark pledges arising from the 30 September 2000 security agreement were avoidable as gratuitous dispositions under bankruptcy avoidance rules
Decisione estratta
The agreement was concluded without a legal obligation of the company to grant the regression right and pledge security, so it was avoidable under Art. 286 SchKG.
Motivazione estratta
The guarantors acted for their own benefit to regain control of the company, not for the company. No contractual, statutory, or mandate-based duty to grant a secured regression right was proven; the trademark pledge also lacked the required written form.
