Key legal question
Whether R. was liable under AVS damage-repair rules as a formal director of the company.
Extracted holding
Yes. As a member of the board of directors, he was a formal organ and could be held liable under the employer-liability rules.
Extracted reasoning
The distinction between formal and material organ status did not help him; board membership itself sufficed for liability under Art. 52 aLAVS / Art. 52 para. 1 LAVS.
