Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the investigation cost order violated the appellant's right to be heard
Extrahierter Entscheid
No. The appellant had a sufficient opportunity to address the cost issue, and the appellate court's refusal to hear additional witnesses was supportable as anticipatory assessment of evidence.
Extrahierte Begründung
The record showed the appellant had been alerted to possible separate proceedings and could have sought clarification or evidence supplementation; the proposed witnesses were not relevant to whether the statutory preconditions for costs were met.
