Question juridique clé
Whether the refusal to hear F.________ as a party witness violated the right to be heard
Solution extraite
No. The court could, without arbitrariness, rely on anticipatory assessment of evidence and refuse the additional hearing because no new relevant findings were expected.
Motifs extraits
F.________ had already documented his recollections in a memorandum and had spoken at the lower-court inspection; the lower court could assume a repeated examination would not alter its view.
