Question juridique clé
Whether the appellate court violated the right to be heard by refusing to hear the psychiatric experts again
Solution extraite
No violation: the request concerned non-essential matters; a new expert hearing was not required.
Motifs extraits
The court held that evidence need only be taken on relevant facts. The existing expert report was recent enough, and the therapist’s report did not show that the prior conclusions on compatibility of treatment and imprisonment had become obsolete.
