Questione giuridica chiave
Whether bond claims held by a pension fund against an affiliated employer qualify for first-class priority under Art. 219(4) SchKG.
Decisione estratta
Yes. All claims of occupational pension institutions against an affiliated employer fall into the first class, including claims embodied in bonds acquired from a bank syndicate.
Motivazione estratta
The statutory text and legislative history show a deliberate choice to privilege all claims of pension institutions against affiliated employers. The decisive factor is the creditor-debtor relationship, not whether the obligation arose by direct subscription or by later purchase of the bond.
