Questão jurídica principal
Whether the administrators were liable under Art. 52 LAVS for unpaid social contributions during the concordat period.
Decisão extraída
Yes. Their conduct was negligent and caused the damage, so liability under Art. 52 LAVS remained engaged.
Fundamentação extraída
A concordat and supervision by a commissioner do not normally relieve directors of their duty to pay current social security contributions. The provisional restrictions imposed in December 2002 did not eliminate their management powers, and no disculpatory reason justified suspending payments.
