Key legal question
Whether the former board member was liable under employer liability rules for unpaid contributions and related charges.
Extracted holding
He remained liable for the unpaid 2003 social security contributions; the lower court correctly refused to attribute contributory fault to the compensation office.
Extracted reasoning
The company failed to report a material wage-sum increase under Art. 35(2) AHVV despite receiving the form; the underreported wage base caused the low advance contributions and the later loss. The compensation office was entitled to rely on the employer’s silence and had no grossly wrongful failure to adjust the advances.
