Question juridique clé
Whether the provisional injunction stopping the construction should be upheld because the planned works likely violated neighborhood and setback rules.
Solution extraite
Yes. The challenged project made it plausible that the new openings would not respect the mandatory Geneva distance rules, which in turn made a neighborhood-law excess under Art. 684 CC plausible.
Motifs extraits
The appellants did not show that any exception allowing deviation from the minimum distances applied. The cantonal court could therefore, without arbitrariness, find the likelihood of a public-law violation and use that as a basis for the provisional measure.
