Key legal question
Whether the award had to be annulled for denial of the right to be heard and unequal treatment in the post-hearing procedure
Extracted holding
No. The parties had sufficient opportunity to present evidence and legal arguments, and simultaneous post-hearing submissions were permissible.
Extracted reasoning
The tribunal had ordered a double exchange of submissions, held a hearing, and allowed simultaneous post-hearing briefs. Requiring simultaneous filing did not deprive the appellant of contradicting the respondent; no procedural surprise or unequal treatment was shown.
