Key legal question
Whether the appellant was liable under Art. 52 AHVG for the company’s unpaid contributions.
Extracted holding
Yes. The employer failed for a prolonged period to pay contributions unlawfully and culpably, and that failure is attributable to the appellant as board chairman.
Extracted reasoning
The court upheld the findings that the company breached its contribution duty for a long time. The appellant’s claimed efforts, attendance at board meetings, and requests to the manager did not amount to the concrete measures required for timely payment.
