Key legal question
Whether the insured could invoke good faith to obtain a pension of CHF 1,765 based on an indicative estimate letter.
Extracted holding
He could not rely on good faith because the estimate was expressly non-binding and no prejudicial disposition was proven.
Extracted reasoning
The compensation fund had clearly reserved the estimate as purely indicative. Even though it negligently omitted the divorce-related split of earnings, the insured could not reasonably treat the estimate as a promise, and he did not show that the CHF 189 difference made his Madagascar plan impossible.
