Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the purchase price of the apartment building exceeded its market value so as to establish damage under Art. 52 BVG
Decisione estratta
No compensable damage was proven; the court accepted the cantonal finding that the property value was at least close to the purchase price and that the deviation from the expert estimate was not excessive.
Motivazione estratta
Damage under Art. 52 BVG requires a reduction in foundation assets. For an overpaid property purchase, the damage is the difference between price and actual market value. The cantonal court's valuation was not arbitrary and its departure from the expert report by 11.62% remained within an acceptable valuation tolerance.
