Questão jurídica principal
Whether the refusal to let counsel question the insured at the public hearing violated fair-trial and hearing rights.
Decisão extraída
No violation: public oral hearing was held and the insured could plead through counsel; there is no general constitutional right to oral questioning.
Fundamentação extraída
Art. 29(2) Cst. does not generally guarantee oral hearing, and Art. 6(1) ECHR was satisfied because the party could present his case publicly via his representative.
