Questione giuridica chiave
Whether Greenfee had a legally protected interest to bring a collocation action as a junior mortgagee.
Decisione estratta
A legally protected interest could not be denied on the basis of the available estimates, because a foreclosure surplus was not excluded and the action could still be useful to Greenfee.
Motivazione estratta
The cantonal court acted arbitrarily by relying on incomplete or weak valuation material and by treating uncertain estimates as if they conclusively ruled out any participation in the sale proceeds. Since real-estate valuations are only approximations and market outcomes are uncertain, the possibility of at least partial participation in the surplus remained open.
