Résumé Omnilex

In a social insurance matter, the court held that medical reports gathered by the health insurer were not sufficient to establish the relevant facts. Their probative value was undermined by a comprehensive disability-insurance expert opinion, which the court preferred. The insurer therefore failed to displace the contrary expert evidence.

Regeste Omnilex

LAMA 6; evidentiary assessment of medical reports in social insurance proceedings. Medical reports produced by a health insurer do not necessarily carry decisive evidentiary weight. Where they are contradicted by a complete and well-founded expert assessment from another insurance file, the judge may refuse to rely on them and prefer the latter, provided the latter is more comprehensive and persuasive.
