Key legal question
Whether missing first-instance notes/protocol violated the right to be heard and required remittal.
Extracted holding
Any defect was not so serious as to preclude cure on appeal, since the appellate court reviewed the case fully and heard the parties again.
Extracted reasoning
The court held that not all pleadings must be transcribed, and that the appeal stage cured any possible hearing defect; a remittal would have caused undue delay.
