Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the former managing director was liable under AHVG Art. 52 for the unpaid social security contributions
Decisione estratta
The appellant was liable because he, as organ of the GmbH, grossly negligently breached the duties of accounting and contribution payment.
Motivazione estratta
The lower court correctly found repeated and serious breaches of the contribution reporting duties. The small size of the company meant that the sole organ had to oversee the essential accounting matters himself; delegation to a fiduciary firm did not relieve him of this responsibility.
