Condominium Owner Exclusion Dispute Value Calculation

In a dispute concerning the exclusion of a unit owner from a condominium association, the appellate court upheld the lower court's calculation of the dispute value, which was based on the market value of the owner's property share (CHF 500,000), despite the owner's contention that the value should be based on a lower potential sale price (CHF 250,000). The court reasoned that because the relevant statute governing the disposal of the share upon exclusion uses the general term "alienation" rather than specifically mandating a sale, the neutral criterion of the property's actual market value is the appropriate measure for the dispute value, as the share might transfer without monetary consideration.
