Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the cantonal appeal court arbitrarily refused to take additional expert evidence on the pricing of extra works at unit rates rather than time-and-materials.
Decisione estratta
The refusal was not arbitrary because the contract and evidence showed the extra works had to be executed on a time-and-materials basis with approval by the works supervisor, so a unit-price calculation would not be useful.
Motivazione estratta
The appellant attacked the evidentiary assessment but did not show that the cantonal court's interpretation of the contract and the architect's delegated authority under Art. 32 CO was manifestly untenable. The requested evidence therefore lacked relevance for the court's conviction.
