Key legal question
Whether the appeal to the cantonal social insurance court was admissible before a decision on objection existed
Extracted holding
The appeal was premature and therefore inadmissible because opposition proceedings before the insurer were still pending.
Extracted reasoning
Under Art. 52(1) LPGA, the initial decision must first be challenged by objection before the issuing insurer; under Art. 56(1) LPGA, only objection decisions or decisions not subject to objection may be appealed. No formal objection decision had yet been notified, and no formal denial of justice was shown.
