Key legal question
Whether the cantonal non-entry decision violated the right to a public oral hearing in the summary debt-enforcement proceedings
Extracted holding
No. In definitive debt enforcement based on a documentary enforcement title, the court may decide on the file; the case did not require a public oral hearing under the Constitution, the ECHR, or the ICCPR.
Extracted reasoning
The proceedings are documentary in nature and concern only the existence of an enforcement title and documented objections. No factual or legal complexity justified an oral hearing, and the complainant showed no arbitrariness in the refusal.
