Key legal question
Whether V. qualified as a de facto organ of the bankrupt company and was liable under Art. 52 LAVS for unpaid social contributions.
Extracted holding
The evidence did not support that V. had a durable decision-making competence over salaries and social contributions; he was not a de facto organ.
Extracted reasoning
Access to e-banking, cash withdrawals, supplier payments, and payroll preparation showed administrative tasks only. The cantonal court relied on unsupported or one-sided findings and overlooked contrary evidence, including statements indicating that I. retained decision-making power.
