Question juridique clé
Whether the cantonal court could finally rely on the MEDAS expert report of 15 February 2011 to deny the disability pension.
Solution extraite
Because the report was obtained under the old MEDAS regime and the file contained objective elements creating serious doubts, the case required a court expert opinion before a final assessment.
Motifs extraits
The new jurisprudence on participation rights in MEDAS proceedings did not automatically invalidate old reports, but in this transitional situation the evidentiary value had to be assessed with special caution. Here the divergent medical views on pain disorder diagnosis and work capacity were too marked to allow final reliance on the administrative expertise alone.
