Questão jurídica principal
Whether the cantonal court could refuse to hear a witness on the owner's alleged good faith.
Decisão extraída
The refusal was lawful because the testimony could not change the outcome; the witness evidence was not decisive.
Fundamentação extraída
The court had already accepted the alleged oral assurances but held that, even if given, they did not justify starting work before formal authorizations and did not cure non-compliance with the filed plans.
