Questão jurídica principal
Whether X.'s complaint about being dispensed from attendance at the first-instance hearing was admissible and well-founded
Decisão extraída
The complaint was not examined on the merits because the appellant failed to challenge both independent grounds of the cantonal decision; in any event the dispensation was justified.
Fundamentação extraída
The cantonal court relied on a procedural forfeiture ground and, alternatively, on the medical evidence showing lasting travel and hearing incapacity. X. did not attack the procedural ground, so the federal appeal did not meet the substantiation requirements.
