Key legal question
Whether the cantonal court violated the right to reply by not giving the appellant a chance to comment on the respondent's and prosecutor's submissions.
Extracted holding
No violation was shown; the appellant had been informed of the submissions in time and, having received them for information, had to request to reply without delay.
Extracted reasoning
The record showed the submissions were sent 15 days before the cantonal judgment. Since cantonal procedure did not provide for more than one exchange of briefs, mere informational communication was sufficient; silence amounted to waiver.
