In a debt enforcement dispute concerning the challenge of new assets acquired during a specific period, the court upheld the lower court's decision regarding the calculation of new wealth. The court reasoned that the debtor's full-time employment income, estimated at a net CHF 8,544 monthly based on witness testimony deemed more credible than evidence suggesting only part-time work, was established. Furthermore, the court rejected the debtor's attempts to deduct property maintenance costs using a tax-based lump sum allowance and to include undocumented support payments to family members when calculating necessary living expenses. Consequently, after subtracting the undisputed proportional share of reasonable living costs (CHF 3,529 monthly), the court confirmed that the debtor realized a surplus income of CHF 5,015 per month, totaling CHF 60,180 annually, which qualified as newly acquired assets, thus justifying the partial lifting of the objection to payment enforcement for that amount.

Art. 265a Abs. 4 SchKG

This article governs the right of either party to file a claim concerning the existence or non-existence of new assets in ordinary proceedings following a ruling on objection to a levy.

Art. 66 al. 1 LTF

This provision was cited implicitly as the decision addresses the allocation of costs, although the specific article citation is missing from the explicit dispositive section (which is usually concluded by a ruling on costs in appeal judgments, but here the outcome is stated based on the reasoning leading to the affirmation of the lower court's decision).
