inte är hörd
has not been accorded a (due process) hearing


Explanation:
> seems to be syntactically right and the verb form makes sense as a past and an ongoing vs. future denial of adversarial right to be heard, examined and consulted, rather than interviewed, as in förhöra : in BrE et audi alteram partem as 'I heard the other side's version of events' vs. AmE: due process.

Example sentence(s):
  • IATE: sv rätten att höras EP en right of defence EP right to a hearing EP
  • audi alteram partem (or audiatur et altera pars) is a Latin phrase meaning "listen to the other side", or "let the other side be heard as well".
