Key legal question
Whether the IV office had standing to appeal the cantonal judgment to the Federal Supreme Court.
Extracted holding
Yes. A cantonal IV office that issued the challenged decision and was a party below may appeal under the special statutory right of appeal, even without a private legal interest.
Extracted reasoning
Art. 89(2)(d) BGG and the relevant social insurance provisions give the issuing IV office appellate standing. The office was also materially aggrieved because the cantonal court went beyond its request and awarded a higher pension than granted in the decision.
