Question juridique clé
Whether the refusal of a public hearing before the cantonal appellate court violated procedural rights.
Solution extraite
No violation; the appellant had waived a public hearing before the first judicial instance, and the appellate court could dispense with one in the overall procedural context.
Motifs extraits
A waiver may be implied if proceedings are usually written and no timely request is made. Given the prior on-site hearing, the mainly legal issues on appeal, and the earlier waiver, the appellate court could rely on the file.
