Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the appeal against the refusal to reduce AHV contributions was admissible under the BGG.
Extrahierter Entscheid
An ordinary public law appeal was unavailable because disputes about partial remission/reduction of contributions fall under Art. 83 lit. m BGG; only a subsidiary constitutional complaint could be considered.
Extrahierte Begründung
A decision on contribution reduction under Art. 11(1) AHVG is treated as a partial remission. A mistaken legal remedy instruction cannot create jurisdiction or a non-existing remedy, and the claimant could not invoke reliance protection because counsel could have detected the error from the statute.
