Questione giuridica chiave
Whether an oral public hearing had to be held under Article 6 ECHR.
Decisione estratta
No. The matter was neither a criminal charge nor a civil claim, and the written file was sufficient.
Motivazione estratta
The court held that Article 6 ECHR did not grant a right to a public hearing in this administrative licence case; additional oral evidence was unnecessary because the facts were clear from the file.
