Key legal question
Whether the dispute could be extended to the continuous daily allowance claim for April 2007 to March 2011.
Extracted holding
The cantonal court was allowed to include the continuous allowance issue because it was closely connected to the appealed allowance decisions and the administration had addressed the point in its submissions.
Extracted reasoning
There was a close factual and legal link with the allowances granted on 16 August 2011; the matter was ready for decision; and the administration had expressly denied the continuous allowance claim in its response.
