Art. 62 PA
L’autorità di ricorso può modificare la decisione impugnata a vantaggio di una parte.
Essa può modificare a pregiudizio di una parte la decisione impugnata quando questa violi il diritto federale o poggi su un accertamento inesatto o incompleto dei fatti; per inadeguatezza, la decisione impugnata non può essere modificata a pregiudizio di una parte, a meno che la modificazione giovi ad una controparte.
L’autorità di ricorso che intenda modificare la decisione impugnata a pregiudizio di una parte deve informarla della sua intenzione e darle la possibilità di esprimersi.
L’autorità di ricorso non è vincolata in nessun caso dai motivi del ricorso.
