Key legal question
Whether the cantonal remand decision’s cost and compensation order had to be annulled because the insured allegedly caused the proceedings through vexatious conduct.
Extracted holding
The insured did not breach any duty of cooperation, and his conduct was neither vexatious nor reckless; the cost and compensation order was therefore justified.
Extracted reasoning
The decisive medical reports were submitted only after they became available, and the IV office did not dispute that timing. A party is vexatious only where it knowingly advances false facts, persists in an obviously unlawful position, or could readily recognize the hopelessness of the case; none of that was shown here.
