Questão jurídica principal
Whether the administrator was liable for the company's unpaid AVS contributions as employer damages
Decisão extraída
Yes. The administrator’s conduct was at least negligent and sufficiently causal for the fund’s loss.
Fundamentação extraída
As sole administrator over many years, he knew his duties and should have taken more effective measures to secure payment of social-security debts. Lack of liquidity and absence from the premises did not excuse him, since funds were available at a relevant time and his control was deficient.
