Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the cantonal court could reduce party compensation solely because the claimants only partially succeeded on the merits
Decisione estratta
No. In EL proceedings, a reduction based only on partial success is impermissible when the quantified request did not affect the procedural effort.
Motivazione estratta
Under Art. 61 lit. g ATSG, compensation depends on importance and difficulty, not on the amount claimed. Since the main request did not increase the work required, the court could not reduce compensation merely because it accepted only a half-time income imputation.
