Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the appellant was denied the right to reply to the respondent's submission before the cantonal court.
Extrahierter Entscheid
No actionable violation was shown, because the cantonal court considered the reply alternatively and the appellant failed to show that it could have changed the outcome.
Extrahierte Begründung
A formal hearing right exists, but an abstract procedural defect is insufficient where no concrete prejudice is demonstrated.
