Key legal question
Whether the employee's right to be heard was violated by refusing additional evidence on alleged mobbing
Extracted holding
No violation: the appellate commission could reject the requested evidence in anticipatory assessment because the alleged facts were insufficiently plausible and not outcome-determinative.
Extracted reasoning
The record contained no concrete indication of sustained hostile conduct; the cited incidents were isolated, and the proposed expert report and witness evidence would not materially clarify the working conditions.
