Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the refusal to hear proposed witnesses in the recusal proceedings violated the right to be heard.
Decisione estratta
No. The authority could reasonably anticipate that the proposed witnesses were unlikely to have paid sufficient attention to the informal remarks, and their testimony would have been problematic for the ongoing investigation.
Motivazione estratta
The right to be heard covers only relevant evidence; a court may отказаться evidence after non-arbitrary anticipatory assessment. The appellant did not show arbitrariness in the authority's assessment.
