Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the cantonal court unlawfully reduced the party compensation for the insured's successful appeal
Extrahierter Entscheid
The insured had fully succeeded in the cantonal proceedings on the claim for an intensive care supplement, so the fee award had to be assessed accordingly; the fixed amount of CHF 550 was not sufficiently reasoned and relied arbitrarily on changing hourly rates.
Extrahierte Begründung
Under Art. 61 lit. g ATSG, party costs must be fixed according to the importance and difficulty of the case. Because the insured's request was granted in substance, the court had to treat the case as a full success. The cantonal decision lacked a transparent basis for the hours and degree of success and inconsistently applied different hourly rates without reason.
