Key legal question
Whether the federal appeal was admissible without prior cantonal reconsideration of the cost award.
Extracted holding
The cantonal reconsideration remedy was unavailable in this social-insurance pension case, so cantonal remedies were exhausted.
Extracted reasoning
Because the procedure must be simple and rapid under Art. 73(2) LPP, cantonal law could not provide multiple appeal instances for costs; exhaustion was satisfied.
