Hearing of parties

(1) Before an administrative act is issued that interferes with the rights of a party, that party must be given the opportunity to comment on the facts material to the decision.
(2) A hearing may be dispensed with where it is not required by the circumstances of the individual case, in particular where
1. an immediate decision appears necessary because of danger in delay or in the public interest;
2. compliance with a period decisive for the decision would be called into question by the hearing;
3. it is not intended to depart, to the party's disadvantage, from the factual particulars that the party has given in an application or a declaration;
4. the authority intends to issue a general order or administrative acts of a like kind in a larger number, or administrative acts with the aid of automatic facilities;
5. measures are to be taken in administrative enforcement.
(3) A hearing is dispensed with where a compelling public interest so requires.
