Questão jurídica principal
Whether the MEDAS X. institution had to be recused as an expert body in the disability insurance proceedings.
Decisão extraída
The recusal request against the MEDAS institution was unfounded; no legally relevant lack of independence or impartiality of the institution itself was shown.
Fundamentação extraída
Even if an institutional right to independence were assumed, there were no indications that MEDAS X. was not independent in the legal sense vis-à-vis the IV office, the cantonal court, or the insured. The impartiality guarantee concerns the individual persons acting for the institution, not the institution as such.
