Art. 5 SchKG
Der Kanton haftet für den Schaden, den die Beamten und Angestellten, ihre Hilfspersonen, die ausseramtlichen Konkursverwaltungen, die Sachwalter, die Liquidatoren, die Aufsichts- und Gerichtsbehörden sowie die Polizei bei der Erfüllung der Aufgaben, die ihnen dieses Gesetz zuweist, widerrechtlich verursachen.
Der Geschädigte hat gegenüber dem Fehlbaren keinen Anspruch.
Für den Rückgriff des Kantons auf die Personen, die den Schaden verursacht haben, ist das kantonale Recht massgebend.
Wo die Schwere der Verletzung es rechtfertigt, besteht zudem Anspruch auf Genugtuung.
