Key legal question
Whether refusal to admit new documents in second cantonal instance was arbitrary or violated the right to be heard.
Extracted holding
The refusal was not arbitrary and did not violate the right to be heard because the documents were pre-existing pseudo-nova and the appellant failed to explain why they could not have been produced earlier.
Extracted reasoning
Under the applicable cantonal rule, only true nova are freely admissible; even assuming pseudo-nova may be considered, the court may require a showing that the evidence could not have been produced earlier. That showing was missing.
