Key legal question
Whether refusing to hear the first IRM Zurich expert and to order a new expert opinion violated the right to be heard.
Extracted holding
No. The cantonal court could reject the evidentiary requests because the case was sufficiently clarified and the additional evidence was not expected to change the result.
Extracted reasoning
The IRM Zurich report was only a preliminary file review, not a formal expert opinion, and the court could rely on the later IRM St. Gallen expertise without arbitrariness.
