Kernrechtsfrage
Whether accident compensation under Art. 7 Factory Liability Act can be pledged or ceded by agreement, including through voluntary submission to attachment.
Extrahierter Entscheid
No. The statutory protection excludes not only cession but also any voluntary pledge or equivalent relinquishment of the non-attachability protection.
Extrahierte Begründung
Art. 7 declares such claims invalidly pledged or assigned. 'Pledge' is understood broadly to include any voluntary giving as security, whether outside enforcement or by waiving opposition to an official seizure. The purpose is to preserve the capital value replacing lost earning capacity as inalienable.
