Art. 73 LPP not applicable to bank-fee dispute at vested benefits foundation

ATA/764/1996Court of Justice / Administrative ChamberDec 17, 1996Dismissed

Extracted by Omnilex

Omnilex summary

The dispute concerned the amount of a bank account balance, specifically administrative fees, held by a vested benefits foundation. The court held that this was not a dispute in social insurance, occupational pension, or civil protection matters within the meaning of Art. 73 LPP. As a result, the special jurisdiction under Art. 73 LPP was not available, since that provision is reserved for disputes concerning entry or exit benefits.

Omnilex headnote

Art. 73 LPP; scope of jurisdiction ratione materiae; disputes concerning vested benefits accounts and administrative fees. The jurisdiction of the court under Art. 73 LPP is limited to disputes arising from occupational pension matters, in particular claims relating to entry and exit benefits. A dispute limited to the amount of a bank balance at a vested benefits foundation, including administrative charges, does not constitute such a contestation and therefore falls outside the material scope of Art. 73 LPP (consid. implied by the summary).

Résumé

Le litige portant sur le montant d'un avoir bancaire (frais administratifs) auprès d'une fondation de libre passage ne concerne pas une contestation en matière d'assurance sociale, de prévoyance professionnelle et de protection civile; la voie de droit prévue à l'art. 73 LPP n'est par conséquent réservée aux cas qui concernent des litiges en matière de prestation d'entrée ou de sortie (ATA du 22 octobre 1996 Fondation Pictet de libre passage).
