Key legal question
Whether the cantonal court violated the right to be heard by not warning the appellant about its assessment of the pleadings and substantiation requirements.
Extracted holding
No. The application of clear cantonal procedural rules could not surprise an experienced represented party, so no hearing violation occurred.
Extracted reasoning
The court said the relevant procedural provisions were clear and the appellant should have expected their application; the issue concerned ordinary cantonal procedure, not an unforeseeable legal basis.
