Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the FAR contribution claim was time-barred
Extrahierter Entscheid
The claim was not time-barred because the five-year limitation period started only when FAR learned of the business and its claim, and the defendant's unexcusable failure to notify the foundation made reliance on earlier limitation abusive.
Extrahierte Begründung
A qualified breach of the duty to register/pay contributions under the generally binding collective agreement existed. General binding force has legal-effect character and is publicly promulgated, so ignorance could not be relied on. The foundation learned of the claim only in May 2009, so the action filed in August 2010 was timely.
