Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the cantonal court violated the right to be heard by relying on the traffic office's submission without giving the appellant an opportunity to comment.
Decisione estratta
Yes. The traffic office's submission contained decisive arguments, and the appellant was not given a chance to respond before the cantonal court ruled on costs and compensation.
Motivazione estratta
The right to be heard includes the right to take note of and comment on submissions filed with the court. Because the court relied on the office's letter to assess costs and compensation without forwarding it to the appellant, the hearing right was breached.
