Whether the Vaud social insurance court had territorial jurisdiction over the appeal against the Geneva AI office decision.
No. Under the special rule of Art. 69(1bis)(a) LAI, the appeal had to be brought before the insurance court at the seat of the competent cantonal AI office, here Geneva.
Art. 69(1bis)(a) LAI derogates from Arts. 52 and 58 LPGA and does not provide an alternative forum at the insured person's domicile. Because the challenged decision was issued by the Geneva cantonal social insurance office, only the Geneva court was competent.
