ATA/596/1995Court of Justice / Administrative ChamberOct 24, 1995Confirmed
Extracted by Omnilex
The case concerned whether a husband could be held liable for his wife’s unpaid insurance contributions. The court held that, once the wife’s affiliation was actually established, the contributions were due. Because the appellant gave no explanation capable of calling that affiliation or the debt into question, the liability was maintained under the applicable statutory rule.
LAMA 12; liability for a spouse’s insurance contribution debt and proof of affiliation. Where the factual affiliation of the insured spouse is established, the contribution claim is due; absent any substantiated explanation from the appellant, the debt is upheld. The husband answers for the spouse’s contribution obligation under the statutory rule cited, so the debt may be enforced against him (consid. unspecified).
