Question juridique clé
Whether the appellant was entitled to a public hearing before the cantonal court
Solution extraite
No public hearing was required on the facts, because the dispute could be resolved on the written record and raised no factual issues needing oral evidence.
Motifs extraits
Article 6 ECHR permits exceptions where the case can be decided from the file, especially in technically complex matters; the appellant did not show why the written procedure was insufficient.
