Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the AHV pension plafonnement for married couples is unlawful or discriminatory
Decisione estratta
The challenge fails; the Federal Supreme Court held that the cantonal court correctly applied the mandatory federal statute and confirmed the plafonnement.
Motivazione estratta
Federal statutes are binding on the courts under Art. 190 BV. The court therefore could not review the constitutionality of the AHVG provision and had to apply Art. 35(1)(a) AHVG according to its clear wording.
