Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the cantonal court had to hold a public hearing and allow oral submissions
Decisione estratta
No further oral hearing was required; the request was essentially an evidentiary motion, and the cantonal court could reject it in anticipatory assessment.
Motivazione estratta
Swiss social insurance appeal proceedings are generally written. A request for personal hearing, questioning, or inspection does not by itself establish a Convention-based right to a public hearing. The appellant was also given an opportunity for a second exchange of briefs.
