Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the appellate court violated the right to be heard by forwarding the employer's response without fixing a reply deadline.
Extrahierter Entscheid
No violation occurred because the employee was represented by counsel, had sufficient time to react, and the right of reply had to be exercised without delay even without a formal deadline.
Extrahierte Begründung
The court held that the right to reply is unconditional, but a party receiving a submission for information must react promptly or request time. Here, counsel could rely on the established jurisprudence and the case was decided only months later.
