Extracted by Omnilex

Omnilex summary

A dispute arose between a vested benefits foundation and an affiliated person over the calculation of a vested benefits account. The court held that Art. 73 LPP does not provide a remedy for disputes between a vested benefits institution and an affiliate, except for disputes relating to entry or exit benefits from a pension fund. Because the case did not concern such benefits, the action could not proceed under Art. 73 LPP.

Omnilex headnote

Art. 73 LPP; jurisdiction over disputes involving vested benefits institutions and affiliates; the special court under Art. 73 LPP is not open to contests between a vested benefits foundation and an affiliated person, save for disputes concerning entry or exit benefits of a pension fund. Where the subject matter does not fall within that exception, the action is inadmissible for lack of jurisdiction (consid. according to cited case law).

Résumé

"Selon la jurisprudence récente du TF opposant précisément la Fondation à l'une de ses affiliées, les voies de droit prévues à l'art. 73 LPP ne sont pas ouvertes lorsque la contestation oppose une institution de libre passage à un affilié, sauf en ce qui concerne les litiges en matière de prestations d'entrée ou de sortie d'une caisse de prévoyance, ce qui n'est pas le cas en l'espèce (ATFA du 22.10.96 dans la cause M.-L. W.)".
