Kernrechtsfrage
Whether a settlement is admissible in an appeal concerning damage compensation under Art. 52 AHVG
Extrahierter Entscheid
Yes. A judicial settlement is also permissible in appeal proceedings over Art. 52 AHVG damage claims under Art. 50 ATSG.
Extrahierte Begründung
The Court held that, unlike pure contribution disputes, damage claims involve room for assessment and settlement; the purpose of Art. 50 ATSG does not justify excluding such settlements on appeal.
