Key legal question
Whether the cantonal court violated the right to be heard by giving insufficient reasons for the amount of compensation.
Extracted holding
No. The appellate court’s brief reasoning explained the factors used to set the compensation and allowed the appellant to challenge it knowledgeably.
Extracted reasoning
A court need only state, at least briefly, the reasons guiding its decision; it need not address every argument. The cantonal court identified the employee’s suffering, the probable contribution of workplace harassment to her depression, and the employer’s failure to take preventive measures.
