Business liability for breach of the obligation to contribute in benefits derived from common contingencies. Comments on the ruling of the Labour Court of the Supreme Court of 8 May 1997 (Cassation Appeal for Doctrine Unification no. 3824/1996)

Abstract

The lack of a regulatory development of the liability regime for breach of the obligation to contribute, currently regulated in article 167 of the LGSS [General Social Security Act], required an effort by the Supreme Court to delimit the outlines of said accusation, based on the provisions of articles 94, 95, 96 and 97 of the Social Security Act of 21 April 1966, with transitory regulatory value in accordance with the provisions of the 2nd transitional provision of Royal Decree 1645/1972.
