Question juridique clé
Whether the final contribution assessments for payments to G. were binding in the AHV damages action
Solution extraite
The assessments were not binding because the file contained clear indications that they were manifestly incorrect.
Motifs extraits
A damages action generally does not reopen a final contribution decision, but an exception applies where the record shows unmistakable error. The court found that the payments to G. related to hired personnel, not G.'s own wages, and the employer likely should not have been charged as debtor.
