Questão jurídica principal
Whether the cantonal authority had to hold a public oral hearing
Decisão extraída
No public hearing was required because the case could be decided on the file and the proceedings were obviously inadmissible in that form.
Fundamentação extraída
Art. 30(3) BV guarantees publicity only if a hearing takes place; Art. 6(1) ECHR does not require a hearing where no factual or legal issues exist that cannot be resolved from the written record.
