Questão jurídica principal
Whether the Fribourg social insurance court had territorial jurisdiction over the damage compensation appeal
Decisão extraída
Yes. The cantonal court at the company’s former seat was competent for the AHV damage claim, regardless of the personal residence of the liable organ.
Fundamentação extraída
The pre-ATSG case law on venue for employer-liability claims remained applicable under Art. 52 AHVG; therefore jurisdiction followed the company’s seat before bankruptcy.
