Question juridique clé
Whether the appellant is liable under Art. 52 AHVG for the contribution loss caused by B.___ GmbH.
Solution extraite
Yes. The company failed to file annual payroll declarations and to pay contributions; this constituted at least gross negligence attributable to the sole director.
Motifs extraits
The contribution debt became unrecoverable after bankruptcy. The company ignored repeated obligations to report wages and pay contributions, and no justification or excusing circumstances were shown. As sole managing director, the appellant had a duty to ensure proper reporting and payment and could not rely on delegation to a trustee without adequate supervision.
