Key legal question
Whether the insured remained entitled to a half invalidity pension from 1 October 2001
Extracted holding
Yes. Based on the accepted expert assessment and income comparison, the degree of invalidity was 51%, entitling him to a half pension.
Extracted reasoning
The cantonal court relied on the orthopedic expert evidence showing a 80–85% work capacity in adapted work. Using the insured's pre-injury and invalid earnings, the court found a 51% invalidity rate.
