Question juridique clé
Whether the cantonal remand judgment bound the AI office to carry out the ordered observation stage before issuing a new decision.
Solution extraite
The remand judgment was binding on the lower authority, but the office could exceptionally omit the observation stage because the later medical evidence made it superfluous.
Motifs extraits
A remand judgment binds the lower authority within the scope of its instructions. However, after the medical complement clarified work capacity and suitable activities, an additional professional observation would not have added relevant findings and would only have delayed the proceedings.
