Attachment of Disability Pensions under Swiss Law (IVG vs. BVG)

The court determined the distinct rules regarding the attachment of disability pensions under Swiss law, specifically contrasting pensions granted under the Federal Act on Insurance for Invalidity (IVG) with those under the Federal Act on Occupational Old Age, Survivors' and Disability Pension (BVG). The court reasoned that disability pensions granted pursuant to the IVG are entirely unattachable, whereas pensions awarded under the BVG are only subject to limited attachment, relying on the specific provisions of the Debt Enforcement and Bankruptcy Act concerning unattachable assets.
