Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the commune's right to be heard was violated in the expert assessment procedure
Extrahierter Entscheid
Yes. The expert report was not duly communicated, the commune had no real opportunity to comment on it or request additional questions, and oral exchanges did not cure the defect.
Extrahierte Begründung
The court held that the report had to be transmitted to the parties and that they must be able to address the expert findings before the decision. Oral information and undocumented meetings were insufficient, especially given the missing minutes and the report's sparse reasoning.
