Questão jurídica principal
Whether M. was personally liable under Art. 52 AHVG as an organ of the employer.
Decisão extraída
Yes. He held an organ position and, in any event, performed functions in the group’s contribution and payroll affairs that were reserved to company organs.
Fundamentação extraída
His formal role as sole-signatory director and his own prior statements showed that he helped manage the group’s administration, accounting, and payroll. The court could therefore attribute the employer’s unlawful non-payment of contributions to him.
