Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the cantonal court validly announced a possible reformatio in peius before worsening the insured person's position.
Decisione estratta
No. A mere invitation to comment on the insurer's submission was insufficient; the court had to clearly signal its own provisional view that a worsening was under consideration and allow withdrawal of the appeal.
Motivazione estratta
Art. 61 lit. d ATSG requires advance notice and an express warning that the party may withdraw the appeal. The cantonal court relied only indirectly on the insurer's request and did not formually and independently communicate its own tentative assessment.
