Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the appeal should be heard despite the request for a public hearing before the Federal Supreme Court.
Extrahierter Entscheid
The request for a public hearing was denied; in social insurance matters, publicity is primarily to be ensured at first-instance appellate level.
Extrahierte Begründung
The appellants did not engage with the cantonal court's reasons for not holding a public hearing, and the Convention requirement had already to be safeguarded in the prior instance.
