Questão jurídica principal
Whether the pension foundation had sufficiently substantiated its claim for unpaid contributions and related charges.
Decisão extraída
The claim was sufficiently substantiated in substance, but the amount had to be corrected because annual surplus offsets had not been properly accounted for.
Fundamentação extraída
The court held that a pension foundation must make the contribution claim verifiable by specifying amount and period, yet the employer’s objections were largely unconvincing. However, the lower court had wrongly assumed that surplus-account statements had been duly served each year, so annual offsets with risk and interest surpluses had to be deducted.
