Questão jurídica principal
Whether the cantonal award of party compensation of CHF 3,959.70 violated federal law or was arbitrary.
Decisão extraída
The cantonal court could set the compensation within its discretion, and the reduced amount was sufficiently reasoned and not arbitrary or abusive.
Fundamentação extraída
Under Art. 61 lit. g ATSG the successful party is entitled to costs, but their assessment is for the cantonal court. Federal review is limited to whether the assessment meets federal-law standards and withstands arbitrariness review. The reduction from the filed fee note was plausibly justified.
