Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the Vaud social insurance court had territorial jurisdiction over the appeal under Art. 58 LPGA.
Decisione estratta
No. Jurisdiction lies with the insurance court of the canton of the insured person’s domicile at the time the appeal is filed; here that canton was Jura.
Motivazione estratta
Under Art. 58 LPGA in conjunction with Art. 57 LPGA, venue depends on the claimant’s domicile when the appeal is lodged. Since the appellant was domiciled in La Chaux-des-Breuleux in the canton of Jura, the Vaud court had to decline jurisdiction and transmit the case without delay.
