Key legal question
Whether the cantonal court violated the right to be heard by its case handling and by using IV files without notification
Extracted holding
The hearing right was violated only insofar as the cantonal court used IV files without informing the parties; however, the defect was cured and did not affect costs.
Extracted reasoning
No violation arose from the lack of an acknowledgment or from the exchange of briefs, but the undisclosed file consultation infringed the right of inspection. A remittal was avoided because it would have caused unnecessary delay and the appellant had already inspected the files.
