Résumé Omnilex

In proceedings concerning occupational-pensions premium arrears, the court granted the creditor definitive lifting of the debtor's objection to the debt-collection order. The debtor had not replied to the request. The court also upheld a moratory interest rate of 6%, considering it justified because it was lower than the 6.25% benchmark recommended by the competent cantonal supervisory authorities' committee for the 1993 financial year.

Regeste Omnilex

Art. 73 LPP; definitive lifting of objection in debt-enforcement proceedings and moratory interest: where the creditor's claim is sufficiently established and the debtor does not contest the request, definitive lifting may be granted. A claimed default interest rate may be accepted without further proof of special damage if it does not exceed the benchmark rate recommended by the competent supervisory authorities for the relevant period; the court may rely on such benchmark to assess reasonableness.

Résumé

Le TA a prononcé la mainlevée définitive de l'opposition formée par l'intimée à un commandement de payer lui réclamant un arriéré de primes, l'intimée n'ayant pas répondu à la demande.

Ce taux a été retenu par le TA dès lors qu'il était inférieur au taux de 6,25 %, recommandé par le comité de la conférence des autorités cantonales de surveillance LPP et des fondations pour l'exercice 1993 (SZS 1984 I p.80)
