Question juridique clé
Whether the Vaud social insurance court had territorial jurisdiction over the appeal
Solution extraite
No. Jurisdiction lay with the Social Insurance Court of the Canton of Valais because the appellant was domiciled there when filing the appeal.
Motifs extraits
Under Art. 58(1) LPGA, the competent social insurance court is that of the canton of domicile of the insured or another party at the time of appeal. The appeal itself indicated a Valais domicile, so the Vaud court had to decline jurisdiction.
