Questão jurídica principal
Whether refusal to orally hear the prisoner violated the constitutional right to be heard.
Decisão extraída
No. The Federal Court held there is no constitutional right to an oral hearing in this context, and the complaint could not succeed.
Fundamentação extraída
Art. 29(2) Constitution guarantees participation rights, but not oral presentation before the deciding authority. The claimant did not invoke a cantonal procedural rule, and he could have sought access to the file and filed written submissions.
