Key legal question
Whether Swiss divorce law applied to the division/compensation of foreign pension expectations despite the marriage contract and the OMC pension rules.
Extracted holding
Yes. The pension compensation issue is an accessory effect of divorce governed by the law applicable to the divorce, here Swiss law; the foreign marital property regime and the pension scheme's own rules do not control.
Extracted reasoning
Art. 63 LDIP directs accessory effects of divorce to the divorce law. The right under Arts. 122-124 CC is independent of matrimonial property and of the pension institution's internal law. Any renunciation would matter only if contained in the divorce settlement.
