Questão jurídica principal
Whether the refusal to hear witnesses and obtain further expert evidence violated the right to be heard and the right to a fair trial.
Decisão extraída
No violation occurred; the appellate court could rely on the existing file and anticipatory assessment of evidence.
Fundamentação extraída
The requested evidence was already covered by the record or could not change the assessment; Article 6 § 1 ECHR afforded no broader protection than Article 29(2) of the Constitution.
