Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the cantonal court violated the appellant's right to be heard by not allowing sufficient time to comment on the administration's submission.
Decisione estratta
Yes. A nine-day period after notification of the submission was too short to infer waiver of the right to reply.
Motivazione estratta
Under Art. 29(2) Cst. and Art. 6 ECHR, the parties must have a real opportunity to respond to new submissions. According to the Court's practice, less than ten days is insufficient; the violation could not be cured on federal appeal.
