Key legal question
Whether the appellant incurred qualified fault under Art. 52 AHVG for unpaid social insurance contributions.
Extracted holding
Yes. As a formal organ of a small company, she failed to exercise the heightened supervision and control required and remained completely passive despite obvious doubts about contribution duties.
Extracted reasoning
The court held that family trust, lack of language or administrative skills, and reliance on her husband did not excuse her. She had to actively verify uncertain contribution obligations with the compensation office; her omission was grossly negligent.
