Question juridique clé
Whether the appeal could rely on the argument that the 11th AHV revision referendum eliminated the legal basis for organ liability
Solution extraite
No. The relevant facts had already materialized before the bankruptcy, and the negative referendum only meant the proposed amendments did not enter into force; existing case law on organ liability remained applicable.
Motifs extraits
The decisive event was the bankruptcy opening in 2003. At that time the legally relevant facts were complete, and the rejected reform was intended to codify, not abolish, existing organ-liability case law.
