Key legal question
Whether the right to be heard was violated by not allowing oral statements or witness testimony and by transmitting late submissions without a further exchange.
Extracted holding
No violation occurred; written opportunities to respond were sufficient and the court could rely on an anticipated assessment of the evidence.
Extracted reasoning
The appellant had already been able to present his case in writing, the later cantonal submissions added nothing decisive, and he did not promptly request a chance to comment. Article 29(2) does not guarantee oral hearing, and the authorities could dispense with further evidence.
