Questão jurídica principal
Whether the pension-splitting order was correctly directed at AXA Vie SA rather than the actual pension institution.
Decisão extraída
The order had to be directed against the pension institution itself, i.e. the Personalfürsorgestiftung der Hilcona-Gruppe in Liechtenstein, because only that institution was party to and liable for execution of the split.
Fundamentação extraída
In the execution of a divorce-based pension split, the spouse's occupational pension institution has party status and is the entity that must perform the transfer. AXA Vie SA was only the commercial name of the manager/insurer, not the pension institution.
