Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the cantonal court could treat the appeal as withdrawn because the appellant did not appear at the second hearing.
Extrahierter Entscheid
The finding of withdrawal was unconstitutional because the court relied on arbitrary assumptions about timely notice, knowledge of the new hearing, and warning of the consequences of absence.
Extrahierte Begründung
The record did not support that the appellant actually learned of the second hearing by fax, through counsel, or otherwise. The court also lacked proof that he had been sufficiently warned that failure to appear a second time would count as withdrawal. Any further assumptions about his exact knowledge of the limitation deadline were also unsupported.
