Question juridique clé
Whether the appellant's right to be heard was violated because defense counsel allegedly could not speak last at the appeal hearing.
Solution extraite
The complaint was inadmissible because counsel should have raised the request immediately at the hearing; no refusal of a renewed request was shown.
Motifs extraits
Under procedural good faith, a professionally represented party must assert the right to plead last at once; the record did not show any denied request.
