Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the compensation fund's damage claim was time-barred under Art. 52 AHVG after the objection proceedings lasted more than two years.
Decisione estratta
The claim had become time-barred because the two-year limitation period restarted with the objection and no interrupting procedural act occurred before the objection decision.
Motivazione estratta
Art. 52 AHVG provides for interruptible limitation periods. By analogy with Art. 135 ff. OR, the filing of the damage assessment decision interrupted the period, and the objection triggered a new two-year period. Since no further interrupting act followed, the claim expired before the objection decision.
