Kernrechtsfrage
Whether a victorious, lawyer-represented pension fund may receive party compensation after the opposing employer acted vexatiously and caused the proceedings.
Extrahierter Entscheid
Yes. Where the employer's conduct is vexatious and the fund was represented by counsel, a party cost award is available under the applicable cantonal basis.
Extrahierte Begründung
The employer ignored invoices and reminders, lodged unfounded objections in enforcement proceedings, and remained silent in court. This conduct was correctly qualified as vexatious. Since the fund was represented by an attorney, the absence of a general cost entitlement for social insurers did not preclude compensation in these circumstances.
