Key legal question
Whether pension claims before 1 April 2001 were time-barred or interrupted by a 1999 letter
Extracted holding
The 1999 correspondence was not a valid acknowledgment or waiver of prescription; claims for installments before 1 April 2001 were time-barred.
Extracted reasoning
The contacted Nestlé employee lacked authority to waive limitation. The reply merely confirmed the statutory rule that BVG disability benefits may revive if the IV grants a pension, which is not a prescription waiver. Prescription was interrupted only by filing the court action.
