Questão jurídica principal
Whether the cantonal court violated the right to be heard by refusing an on-site inspection and by examining Art. 24d LAT without prior submissions.
Decisão extraída
No violation: an on-site inspection was not necessary, and the court could examine a provision favorable to the appellant ex officio.
Fundamentação extraída
The evidence request was not shown to be relevant, the file already contained plans and photos, and the appellant had a strong duty to cooperate. A party cannot complain that the court lacked information it could have supplied. The court may apply a favorable legal norm on its own motion.
