Key legal question
Whether the cantonal court's non-entry for failure to file the appealed decision was excessively formalistic under Art. 29(1) BV and Art. 61(b) ATSG.
Extracted holding
Yes. Because the insurer, the contested decision date, and the reference number were already known from the file, the purpose of submitting the decision was otherwise achieved; non-entry was therefore excessively formalistic.
Extracted reasoning
The requirement to submit the appealed decision serves to identify the dispute and the issuing authority. Here, that information was available from the forwarded documents and the insurer's correspondence, and the court could obtain the decision from the file. In this concrete situation, insisting on the separate filing served no legitimate purpose.
