Questão jurídica principal
Whether the widow and daughter had standing and a current legal interest to challenge the mootness dismissal of the deceased's disability pension appeal.
Decisão extraída
They lacked a current protected interest in continuation of the cantonal proceedings.
Fundamentação extraída
Under Art. 89 para. 1 BGG, an appeal requires a specific connection to the matter and a practical benefit from the outcome. The heirs' asserted link to possible occupational pension survivor benefits was insufficient; any such claim had to be brought against the pension provider in the appropriate BVG action, not by continuing the deceased's IV appeal.
