Key legal question
Whether the Federal Supreme Court could enter into the appellant's hearing-right complaint despite available cantonal nullity review.
Extracted holding
The complaint on denial of the right to be heard was inadmissible because the cantonal nullity remedy had to be exhausted first.
Extracted reasoning
Under cantonal Bern procedure, a nullity action was available for alleged violations of the right to be heard; therefore the federal appeal could not raise that point directly.
