Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the detention extension hearing violated the detainee's right to be heard because his chosen lawyer was not invited.
Decisione estratta
Yes. The authority had to treat the notified lawyer as the chosen representative and invite her to the hearing; holding the hearing without her breached Article 29(2) BV.
Motivazione estratta
The record indicated that a power of attorney had been filed. Under Article 13d ANAG, a detainee may communicate with counsel, and the authorities must enable contact with a specifically named lawyer. Appointment of another legal aid lawyer did not cure the omission.
