Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the outgoing partner was liable for the partnership's unpaid AHV contributions and for which periods.
Extrahierter Entscheid
He was subsidiarily liable for contribution debts for 2002-2003, but not for 1998-2001; the case had to be remanded to fix the amount.
Extrahierte Begründung
For a dissolved general partnership continued as a sole proprietorship, the outgoing partner's personal subsidiary liability under OR 568(3) applies to AHV contribution debts. However, contribution claims for 1998-2001 had already lapsed, while 2002-2003 remained claimable. The lower court had not sufficiently clarified whether there was fault for the damage-based part of the claim.
