Questão jurídica principal
Whether the prior cantonal/Federal Court judgment created res judicata for all UVG benefits after 30 April 2007
Decisão extraída
The prior judgment was final only on the issue of adequate causal link; it did not finally decide pension and integrity compensation, and therefore did not bar a new assessment of those claims.
Fundamentação extraída
The court held that the scope of legal force must be derived from the reasons and the true legal meaning of the earlier decision. The earlier case concerned only one element of entitlement, namely the adequate causal link, not all benefit prerequisites.
