Questão jurídica principal
Whether the cantonal court had to set a grace period to cure the insufficient appeal reasoning under Art. 61 lit. b ATSG
Decisão extraída
A grace period must generally be set when the intention to appeal was timely and properly expressed; only an obvious abuse of rights allows refusal.
Fundamentação extraída
The court held that the purpose of the grace period is to protect parties who file late or deficient pleadings in good faith. Where counsel promptly requests the file and cannot substantiate the appeal without it, filing a provisional appeal and then supplementing it after receipt of the file is not, by itself, abusive.
