Questão jurídica principal
Whether the husband’s right to be heard was violated by non-service of the wife’s submissions before the cantonal cassation decision.
Decisão extraída
Yes. A party must be able to know and comment on all submissions placed before the court before judgment; late service only with the decision is insufficient.
Fundamentação extraída
The court relied on Art. 29(2) BV and Art. 6(1) ECHR and its Strasbourg-conforming case law. The failure to serve the wife’s submissions in time prevented any prior response. This was a serious procedural defect that could not be cured in the constitutional complaint proceedings.
