Questão jurídica principal
Whether the appellants were denied the right to comment on submissions filed in the cantonal appeal proceedings.
Decisão extraída
Yes. The record did not show that the submissions were served on the appellants or that they could respond before the cantonal judgment.
Fundamentação extraída
Under Art. 29(2) BV and Art. 6(1) ECHR, parties must be able to examine and comment on every submission; the violation was formal and could not be cured in the federal proceedings.
