Question juridique clé
Whether the federal appeal was admissible without prior cantonal reconsideration of the cost award.
Solution extraite
The cantonal reconsideration remedy was unavailable in this social-insurance pension case, so cantonal remedies were exhausted.
Motifs extraits
Because the procedure must be simple and rapid under Art. 73(2) LPP, cantonal law could not provide multiple appeal instances for costs; exhaustion was satisfied.
