132. Before rendering any decision on an appeal, the Court shall allow the parties to be heard and for such purpose give them, in such manner as it deems proper, a notice of at least five clear days of the day and hour when and the place where they may be heard.
If an interested party so called does not present himself or refuses to be heard at the sitting fixed for such purpose or at an adjournment of such sitting, the Court may nevertheless proceed with the trial of the matter, and no judicial recourse shall be based on the fact that the Court so proceeded in the absence of such party.
