Key legal question
Whether the employer was passively legitimized for a claim to pay BVG contributions to the pension fund
Extracted holding
Yes. Because the claimant sought payment of outstanding contributions to the pension fund, not a higher vested benefit, the employer was the proper defendant.
Extracted reasoning
The claimant, acting without representation, clearly maintained a claim against her former employer for payment of contributions to the pension fund. Under the applicable case law, the employer is the proper defendant for unpaid contributions.
