Kernrechtsfrage
Whether B.________ is liable under Art. 52 AHVG for the company's unpaid social security contributions as a board president not in charge of day-to-day management.
Extrahierter Entscheid
Yes. As a non-managing board member, he had a duty of strict supervision and to secure lawful payment once irregularities became known; his passive reliance on management was grossly negligent.
Extrahierte Begründung
Known irregularities triggered a duty of heightened oversight under corporate-law rules and Art. 52 AHVG. He had to inspect records, seek further clarification, and if necessary consult an expert. Simply instructing management to give contributions priority and trusting its assurances was insufficient.
