Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the cantonal judgment violated the right to be heard by not addressing the first-instance silence-based reasoning.
Extrahierter Entscheid
The cantonal court sufficiently explained why it did not follow the first instance and why silence was not decisive.
Extrahierte Begründung
The court mentioned the first-instance reasoning and gave reasons why it rejected it; the sufficiency of those reasons is a merits question, not a hearing-right issue.
