Key legal question
Whether the employer-organ liability claim was time-barred under Art. 52 AHVG.
Extracted holding
The claim was not time-barred because the compensation fund did not obtain actionable knowledge of the damage before the bankruptcy proceedings opened.
Extracted reasoning
Knowledge of damage arises only when the fund can no longer pursue contributions through ordinary enforcement. Before the bankruptcy, ordinary collection against the employer remained available; no official act equivalent to a definitive loss certificate showed earlier knowledge.
