Key legal question
Whether the alleged failure to address the limitation objection in the opposition decision violated the right to be heard.
Extracted holding
Any defect was cured in the cantonal appeal proceedings because the appellant could fully raise the objection before authorities with full review power.
Extracted reasoning
The right to be heard is generally a formal guarantee, but a violation can be remedied if the party can present its case before an appellate authority that can freely review facts and law and actually examines the issue.
