Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the cantonal ruling was a final or partial decision appealable to the Federal Supreme Court.
Extrahierter Entscheid
The ruling was neither final nor partial; it was an interlocutory decision because the procedure continued and the affiliation question was inseparable from the yet-undetermined amount of contributions.
Extrahierte Begründung
The cantonal court did not definitively dispose of an independent claim. The affiliation finding only resolved an aspect of the dispute that remained linked to the determination of the contributions and entry payments.
