Questione giuridica chiave
Whether E. was liable under Art. 52 LAVS as a de facto organ for unpaid social security contributions.
Decisione estratta
No. E. lacked the objective power to decide which creditors were paid once liquidity problems arose, so she could not prevent the damage.
Motivazione estratta
Liability of a de facto organ depends on the scope of its internal powers and duties. Since decisions on payment priorities were made by her ex-husband, E. had no effective control over the relevant payments and no legal duty that she could actually perform.
