Question juridique clé
Whether the appeal was filed before the competent cantonal court under Art. 58 LPGA.
Solution extraite
No. Competence lies with the court of the insured person's domicile; the Vaud court was not competent because the appellant was domiciled in Valais.
Motifs extraits
Art. 58 para. 1 LPGA fixes an exclusive and mandatory venue at the insured person's domicile or another party's domicile at filing. The insurer is not an 'other party' for this provision. Since the appellant was domiciled in Valais, the Vaud court lacked jurisdiction.
