Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the cantonal court violated the appellant's right to be heard by not setting a deadline to respond to the other parties' final submissions.
Decisione estratta
No violation occurred because the appellant, a lawyer, received the submissions, had previously been told the case was ready for judgment, and could have sought to comment or requested a reply deadline.
Motivazione estratta
The right to reply requires communication of new submissions, but not necessarily an express deadline in every case. Here the appellant had enough time and was not prevented from responding.
