Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the cantonal court violated the right to be heard or committed excessive formalism by deciding the appeal on the merits without remitting for first-instance instruction.
Decisione estratta
No. The appellant had been able to present his arguments before both cantonal instances, and the cantonal court was not required to grant a further first-instance hearing.
Motivazione estratta
The Federal Court held that its prior judgment only required the cantonal court to address the appellant's arguments and that the absence of a double instance does not, by itself, breach the right to be heard.
