Question juridique clé
Whether A. was liable under Art. 52 LAVS for the club's unpaid contributions from 1995 to 1999.
Solution extraite
A.'s liability was not established; the causal link between any fault and the fund's loss was insufficient, so he could not be held responsible for the arrears.
Motifs extraits
Liability under Art. 52 LAVS requires an adequate causal link between a grave breach of duty and the damage. The court held that the fund had not shown that, when A. left office, the club was unable to pay the later-assessed arrears; the club still had available assets after his resignation.
