Questão jurídica principal
Whether the case required a public oral hearing under Article 6 ECHR
Decisão extraída
No. The dispute concerned a pure tax matter, so Article 6 ECHR did not apply and an oral hearing was unnecessary.
Fundamentação extraída
The appeal only concerned whether tax-free spirit could be used for the product, not civil rights or a criminal charge. Pure tax disputes fall outside Article 6 ECHR.
