Procedural due process: reversal of prior decision to grant supplementary legal hearing

The Federal Court of Criminal Justice (BGH) lifted its own prior decision dated September 24, 2024, and reversed the proceedings to the state they held prior to that issuance, thereby granting the defendant supplementary legal hearing and setting a deadline of December 16, 2024, for a written statement before the court will re-decide the matter; this procedural remedy arose from a criminal appeal in which the defendant’s right to be heard was allegedly violated by the previous panel decision, necessitating the application of the principle of legal hearing (*rechtliches Gehör*) to ensure the accused could comment on the legal issues at stake before a final determination.
