Question juridique clé
Whether the Bern administrative court had territorial jurisdiction over the BVG claim against the substitute pension fund.
Solution extraite
The Bern court correctly denied territorial jurisdiction.
Motifs extraits
Because the claimant had sued two occupational pension institutions together and the dispute required a unitary forum to avoid contradictory judgments, the alternative jurisdiction rules under Art. 73 BVG did not require Bern to hear the case.
