Sintesi Omnilex

The court held that legal services provided by the notary were ancillary to the notarization transactions because they were directly connected with them. If compensation claims arising from notarization work and related ancillary services are disputed, they must be decided finally by the same cantonal instance. Accordingly, the supervisory authority over the notaries has jurisdiction over the entire claim under § 53 BeurkG.

Massima Omnilex

§ 53 BeurkG; jurisdiction over compensation claims arising from notarization work and ancillary services: services performed by a notary that are in direct connection with notarization transactions are ancillary services to public notarization. If compensation claims for notarization activity and such ancillary services are disputed, final adjudication must be rendered by the same cantonal instance; the supervisory authority over notaries is competent for the whole claim.

Testo completo

Die von Notar X. erbrachten anwaltlichen Leistungen stehen in unmittelbarem Zusammenhang mit den Beurkundungsgeschäften. Es handelt sich somit um Nebenleistungen zur öffentlichen Beurkundung (Brückner Christian, Schweizerisches Beurkundungsrecht, Zürich 1993, S. 155ff. N 495/96 und 501/02). Sind Entschädigungsansprüche aus Beurkundungstätigkeit und den in Zusammenhang mit einer Beurkundung erbrachten Nebenleistungen streitig, so ist deren rechtskräftige Beurteilung durch die gleiche kantonale Instanz vorzunehmen (Brückner, a.a.O., S. 179 N 583/84; vgl. auch Sidler Kurt, Kurzkommentar zum luzernischen Beurkundungsgesetz, Luzern 1975, N 4 zu § 53, letzter Satz). Die Aufsichtsbehörde über die Urkundspersonen ist somit entsprechend § 53 BeurkG zur Beurteilung der gesamten eingeklagten Forderung zuständig.
