Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the appellant was entitled to a public hearing under fair-trial guarantees.
Extrahierter Entscheid
No public hearing was required because the request was not clearly and timely made and, in any event, the case could be decided on the file in a written social-insurance procedure.
Extrahierte Begründung
The dispute turned mainly on legal subsumption and the factual issues were not dependent on the parties' personal impression; the procedure was simple and swift, and the objections were manifestly unfounded.
