Question juridique clé
Whether the administration violated the insured person's right to be heard by obtaining a supplementary psychiatric opinion without notifying him beforehand.
Solution extraite
The administration should have informed the insured person and allowed him to comment before seeking the supplement, so the right to be heard was violated; however, the defect was cured on appeal.
Motifs extraits
The supplemental opinion was obtained unilaterally, contrary to the rules on expert clarification questions and the right to comment on newly obtained evidence. Because the cantonal court had full review and the supplement added no new decisive aspects, a remittal would have been pointless.
