Key legal question
Whether the appeal court violated due process by not ordering a further exchange of submissions after remittal.
Extracted holding
No general right to a new exchange after remittal; the cantonal court could decide on the existing record.
Extracted reasoning
A remittal continues the case at the procedural stage reached before the first cantonal decision. If no new factual investigations are needed and the issues are already liquid, the court may decide without a further round of pleadings.
