Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the Geneva social-insurance chamber had subject-matter jurisdiction under Art. 73 LPP over the claim against the employer and pension foundation
Extrahierter Entscheid
No. The claim was based on an alleged contractual guarantee in the employment relationship, not on a specific issue of occupational pension law; therefore Art. 73 LPP did not apply.
Extrahierte Begründung
Jurisdiction under Art. 73 LPP depends on the legal basis of the claim as pleaded. Here the requested payment was characterized as damages for alleged non-performance of an employment-related promise regarding retirement benefits, even if pension amounts were involved.
