Key legal question
Whether the cantonal court’s judgment of 1 October 2013 was ambiguous or contradictory and therefore had to be interpreted under cantonal procedure.
Extracted holding
Yes. The dispositive was equivocal because it both rejected the insured’s appeal and ordered a remand, leaving unclear whether further instruction concerned facts before or after 4 September 2012.
Extracted reasoning
Interpretation is limited to clarifying an already intended but unclear dispositive, not to reopening the merits. Here, the dispositive and reasons created a contradiction that could not be maintained.
