Key legal question
Whether the appeal introduced an inadmissible new claim for extra-mandatory disability benefits.
Extracted holding
Claims for benefits from the supplementary occupational pension scheme were new on appeal and therefore inadmissible; the court entered only on the claim for mandatory BVG benefits.
Extracted reasoning
The pleadings had to be interpreted in good faith and in light of their reasoning. The original action concerned only mandatory occupational benefits, whereas the appeal primarily relied on reglementary benefits.
