Question juridique clé
Whether the appellant's right to be heard and reply was violated in the recusal proceedings
Solution extraite
No. The appellant, who was legally knowledgeable and represented, had sufficient time to react to the written submissions but did not request to reply.
Motifs extraits
The court applied the right-to-reply doctrine under constitutional and ECHR guarantees and held that silence in the face of notice and time to respond amounts to waiver.
