Question juridique clé
Whether the cantonal court could reduce the party compensation solely because the claimant only partially succeeded in the pension dispute.
Solution extraite
No. In a quantified benefits dispute, party compensation may not be reduced merely because the requested amount was not fully granted; a reduction requires that the claimed amount actually affected the litigation effort.
Motifs extraits
The claimant's main and alternative requests both concerned the pension entitlement, and the legal work required was not increased by the amount claimed. Since no other reduction ground was identified, the cantonal reduction lacked a sufficient basis under federal law.
