Kernrechtsfrage
Whether a public oral hearing had to be held before the Federal Supreme Court under Art. 6 ECHR and Art. 57 BGG.
Extrahierter Entscheid
No such entitlement existed here; the case could be decided on the file and a hearing was unnecessary.
Extrahierte Begründung
The appellant did not claim that he had been denied a public hearing in the cantonal proceedings, and the file allowed the court to decide the matter.
