Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the cantonal occupational pension court had subject-matter jurisdiction over the damages claim.
Extrahierter Entscheid
Yes. The foundation was a non-registered personnel pension foundation engaged in occupational pension provision, not a patronal welfare fund; therefore the cantonal pension court had jurisdiction.
Extrahierte Begründung
Jurisdiction under Art. 73 BVG depends on the foundation's statutory purpose and financing, not on labels in accounts or correspondence. The statutes provided for occupational pension purposes, possible employee contributions, legally binding beneficiaries' rights, and exclusive use of assets for pension purposes, which distinguishes the foundation from a discretionary welfare fund.
