Question juridique clé
Whether the cantonal court could rely on a psychiatric expertise obtained by the AI office while the appeal was pending
Solution extraite
No. The administrative authority had already lost control of the dispute; the report could not serve as a basis for the cantonal judgment.
Motifs extraits
After an appeal is filed, the authority generally loses competence over the disputed matter. In social insurance cases, the court must direct the proceedings itself. A pendente lite medical expert report ordered by the administration is, as a rule, not admissible, and the claimant's conduct could not cure the procedural defect.
