Question juridique clé
Whether the cantonal social insurance court had jurisdiction over the liability action against former foundation board members and the auditor under Art. 52 LPP.
Solution extraite
Yes. Liability claims under Art. 52 LPP against organs of a patronal welfare fund fall within the competence of the cantonal social insurance court under Art. 73(1)(c) LPP by analogy.
Motifs extraits
Art. 89a(6) CC applies by analogy to patronal welfare funds where compatible; liability rules of Art. 52 LPP are compatible with such funds. Because the action concerns violation of occupational pension law duties by organs or auditors, the specialized pension court is competent, not the civil court.
