Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the cantonal court could charge the AI office with party compensation and court fees when it had substantially confirmed the administrative decision.
Extrahierter Entscheid
No. Since the challenged decision was confirmed in full on the merits, there was no basis to charge the AI office with costs or depens.
Extrahierte Begründung
Under Art. 61 LPGA and Art. 69 para. 1bis LAI, costs are borne by the losing party. The alleged ex officio placement assistance did not change the outcome, because such assistance still depends on the insured person's cooperation and a motivated request. The lower court therefore mischaracterized the result.
