Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the request for a public hearing filed only in the Federal Supreme Court should be granted.
Extrahierter Entscheid
The request was untimely and no compelling public interest justified a public hearing; the written procedure remained sufficient.
Extrahierte Begründung
The right to an oral/public hearing in social insurance proceedings must be asserted in the first-instance court proceedings; raising it only at the final federal stage is generally too late.
