Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the cantonal court violated the parties' right to be heard by deciding without allowing a reply to the State's annexes, especially piece 18.
Extrahierter Entscheid
Yes. The parties were not clearly invited to comment on the State's response and annexes, although they contained potentially decisive information, so the right of reply under Article 29 Cst. was breached.
Extrahierte Begründung
The procedural situation was confusing: the initial transmittal suggested later instructions, then the court simply stated the case was ready for judgment after a long silence. In that context, the parties could not know whether they should react, yet the filed expert material was relevant to the price-excess issue.
