Question juridique clé
Whether oral hearings and witness evidence had to be ordered before the Federal Court.
Solution extraite
No. The right to be heard does not include an oral hearing or witness testimony, and the file allowed an anticipatory assessment of the evidence.
Motifs extraits
The court held that the written record was sufficient; neither Art. 29(2) Cst. nor Art. 6(1) ECHR required debates in these circumstances.
