Question juridique clé
Whether the Federal Office for Social Insurance had unlawfully delayed justice by not issuing an appealable supervisory decision or declaratory ruling on the foundation's organization.
Solution extraite
No. The office had announced that it would decide once the remaining required documents were filed; the procedure was not blocked by the disputed organizational issues.
Motifs extraits
A declaratory decision under Art. 25 VwVG is subsidiary to a constitutive decision. Here, the authority had not refused to decide; it had expressly held out a supervisory decision on the disputed points after receipt of outstanding documents, which were properly requested and never submitted.
