Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the cantonal court violated the right to be heard by refusing to open evidentiary proceedings and hear witnesses.
Decisione estratta
No. The refusal was based on non-arbitrary anticipatory assessment of evidence and the appellant had not sufficiently shown the relevance of the requested evidence.
Motivazione estratta
The record did not show a witness request at first instance; in appeal, the appellant merely restated his version. The cantonal court could reasonably conclude that additional testimony would not change its view, especially since the decisive intent had to be inferred mainly from documents and the proposed witness acted for the appellant.
