Question juridique clé
Whether the refusal to hear the child and two witnesses violated the right to be heard and was arbitrary.
Solution extraite
The refusal was lawful because the requested evidence was, on an anticipatory assessment, incapable of proving a relevant retraction and would not change the outcome.
Motifs extraits
The cantonal court could, without arbitrariness, read the note as expressing a wish to live with the father, not a retraction. The proposed testimonies were merely corroborative and insufficiently substantiated.
