Questão jurídica principal
Whether the cantonal court violated the right to a public hearing and Art. 6(1) ECHR by refusing an oral hearing.
Decisão extraída
No violation occurred; the request was only for personal hearing, and anticipatory assessment showed it would not clarify decisive issues.
Fundamentação extraída
The court could not retrospectively verify translation quality, and the file contained no concrete indication that language problems prevented understanding of the expert questions. The claimant answered many questions in detail, so the refusal of a public hearing was permissible.
