Questão jurídica principal
Whether the canton court violated the appellant's right to reply by disregarding his late submissions after forwarding the respondent's filings for information only.
Decisão extraída
Yes. The appellant replied before judgment was rendered and did not waive his right to respond; ignoring the submissions violated Art. 29(2) BV.
Fundamentação extraída
A party has an unconditional right to comment on every filing. Even if no second exchange is ordered and the court may decide after information-only service, a submission filed before judgment cannot simply be ignored as untimely, especially where the unrepresented party reacted within a short period and before the decision.
