Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the request for witness examination / public hearing had to be granted.
Decisione estratta
No. The court could decide on the file; the appellant had not expressly requested a public hearing, only evidentiary witness questioning.
Motivazione estratta
Under cantonal procedure the court is not bound by evidentiary motions. A public hearing requires a clear request; the proposed questioning would not likely yield additional relevant findings.
