Whether Appenzell Ausserrhoden had jurisdiction over the claims against defendants F. and A. under Art. 73(3) BVG.
Decisione estratta
Yes. Their domicile in Appenzell Ausserrhoden gave that court jurisdiction; no effective forum clause excluded it.
Motivazione estratta
A jurisdiction clause in the foundation's regulations did not cover liability claims under Art. 52 BVG. The statutory forum in Art. 73(3) BVG remained applicable.
