Question juridique clé
Whether the cantonal court violated the right to be heard by not allowing a further reply to the parties' submissions on the new evidence.
Solution extraite
No violation: the defendant had a real opportunity to comment, and the later letter clarified that further submissions were not excluded but merely not required.
Motifs extraits
The court held that the submissions were served, the parties had already been heard extensively, and counsel could have reacted within a reasonable time even without a formal deadline. The later correspondence and the time taken before judgment showed that a spontaneous reply remained possible.
