Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the cantonal appeal proceedings in an IV benefits dispute were subject to court costs and a cost advance
Decisione estratta
Yes. The proceedings were cost-bearing under the post-1 July 2006 regime, so a cost advance could be required.
Motivazione estratta
The applicable law after the procedural-strictness measures made cantonal IV appeal proceedings cost-bearing; prior cost-free rules applied only to cases already pending on 1 July 2006.
