Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the cantonal court violated Article 6 ECHR by refusing the requested public hearing.
Decisione estratta
The request was timely and none of the recognised exceptions justified dispensing with a public hearing; the refusal violated the procedural guarantee.
Motivazione estratta
The dispute was not highly technical, the complaint was not obviously inadmissible or unfounded, and no other exceptional reason outweighed the right to a public hearing.
