Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the appellant could claim full automatic indexation of his occupational old-age pension from the former employer.
Decisione estratta
No legal, regulatory, contractual, or vested-right basis established an enforceable duty of the employer to fully compensate inflation.
Motivazione estratta
Art. 36(2) LPP binds the pension institution, not the employer; the contract of employment merely referred to the pension regulations; past voluntary payments and information letters did not create an enforceable promise; the claimed benefit was at most gratuitous.
