Key legal question
Whether the cantonal court lawfully remanded the case for additional medical evidence on the reasonableness and effect of weight-loss treatment.
Extracted holding
The remand was justified because the file did not sufficiently establish the nature of the obesity, the psychological and somatic feasibility of treatment, or its impact on work capacity.
Extracted reasoning
The existing medical records did not clearly address whether the obesity stemmed from metabolic/endocrine causes or psychological eating disorder, nor whether a weight-loss measure was medically and psychologically exigible or likely to improve earning capacity. A multidisciplinary expert assessment was therefore necessary.
