Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the cantonal court violated the right to be heard by relying on a reply not served to the husband before judgment
Decisione estratta
Yes. The party had the right to know and comment on all submissions, regardless of whether the reply added new facts or arguments.
Motivazione estratta
Under Art. 6(1) ECHR, fair trial guarantees require service of all submissions to the parties. The failure could not be cured, since the Federal Court reviewed the matter with more limited cognizance than the cantonal court.
