Key legal question
Whether the cantonal court violated the right to be heard or reformatio in pejus principles by limiting emergency coverage to 48 hours.
Extracted holding
No. The insured had repeatedly been able to comment, and the cantonal court was not barred from adopting a different solution after the prior judgment had been annulled.
Extracted reasoning
Article 61 LPGA allows a cantonal social insurance court to depart from the parties' conclusions if they can be heard or withdraw the appeal. The earlier judgment no longer existed, so there was no protected prior finding to constrain the new decision.
