Key legal question
Whether the Social Insurance Court violated the insurer's right to be heard by relying on reports obtained from federal offices without prior comment
Extracted holding
Yes. The court relied on externally obtained reports containing factual and legal elements relevant to jurisdiction, so the insurer had to be given an opportunity to comment before the decision.
Extracted reasoning
Reports requested from other authorities are not internal documents. Because they served as a basis for the jurisdictional decision, excluding the parties from commenting breached Art. 29(2) BV.
