Key legal question
Whether the respondent must pay costs/dépens to the successful appellant after remand
Extracted holding
Yes. The respondent, as the unsuccessful party, must pay the appellant an indemnity for costs and legal expenses.
Extracted reasoning
Under Art. 61 let. g LPGA and Art. 7 TFJAS, a successful party represented by professional counsel is entitled to reimbursement of necessary costs; considering the importance and complexity of the dispute, the indemnity was set at CHF 2,000 including VAT.
