Key legal question
Is a federal administrative law appeal admissible against the cantonal interlocutory decision refusing a medical expert opinion?
Extracted holding
No. The interlocutory decision was not capable of causing irreparable harm, because the evidence issue could still be reviewed in an appeal against the final judgment and there was no showing that decisive evidence would be lost soon.
Extracted reasoning
Under the applicable procedural law, a separate appeal against an incidental decision is available only if irreparable prejudice is shown. The appellant did not demonstrate any urgency requiring immediate supplementation of the medical file, and there was no indication that the proposed evidence would disappear.
