Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the refusal to extend a deadline and restore time to respond to the judge's requests violated the right to be heard.
Extrahierter Entscheid
No. The cantonal court could refuse restoration because no non-fault impediment was shown, the request was late, and the requested information and documents were simple and relevant to the taxpayer's own case.
Extrahierte Begründung
The Federal Court held that the procedural rules were applied without arbitrariness and that the minimum guarantees of Art. 29 para. 2 Cst. were respected. The taxpayer had sufficient time to file the requested explanations and documents but did not do so.
