Kernrechtsfrage
Whether a public hearing was required in the appeal against revocation of the notary licence
Extrahierter Entscheid
No hearing was required because the case raised only legal questions that could be resolved on the written record; a public hearing was not mandatory on these facts.
Extrahierte Begründung
The court held that neither cantonal procedure nor Art. 6(1) ECHR required an oral hearing here, since the dispute did not depend on the appellant's personal impression and could be decided from the file and written submissions.
