Key legal question
Whether the lawyer breached his duty of care by advising against an appeal of the cantonal insurance judgment of 8 September 1999.
Extracted holding
No breach was established because the client failed to show that an appeal would probably have succeeded.
Extracted reasoning
The court accepted the lower court's findings that there was no proven continuous work incapacity and no sufficient temporal or substantive nexus for pension liability; thus the appeal prospects were not obviously good.
