Key legal question
Whether the appellant was denied the right to be heard because no oral hearing was held in the detention review
Extracted holding
No. Article 29(2) BV generally guarantees written submissions only; an oral hearing is required only in exceptional cases, which were not present here.
Extracted reasoning
The appellant was able to file written submissions and reply to the authorities; he had counsel. The file allowed the authorities to assess the risk of reoffending without hearing evidence orally.
