Question juridique clé
Whether the cantonal proceedings violated the appellant's right to be heard by treating him as bound by a prior cassation judgment in which he had not participated.
Solution extraite
Yes. He was convicted without being able to address the decisive factual and legal issues or request evidence, which infringed Article 29(2) of the Constitution.
Motifs extraits
The right to be heard requires the possibility to comment on decisive matters before the decision. Because the authorities relied on an earlier judgment to preclude his defenses, the appellant was deprived of a meaningful opportunity to present his case.
