Questione giuridica chiave

Decisione estratta
Yes. A judicial settlement is also permissible in appeal proceedings over Art. 52 AHVG damage claims under Art. 50 ATSG.
Motivazione estratta
The Court held that, unlike pure contribution disputes, damage claims involve room for assessment and settlement; the purpose of Art. 50 ATSG does not justify excluding such settlements on appeal.
