Questão jurídica principal
Whether refusing to hear the owner, her husband, and her son violated the right to be heard under Art. 29 para. 2 Constitution.
Decisão extraída
No. The evidence already in the file was sufficient, and the anticipated relevance assessment was not arbitrary.
Fundamentação extraída
The court held that a judge may reject evidence when it cannot affect the outcome. The inspection reports, parties’ own statements, and the appellant’s ignorance of key operational facts sufficiently established that further testimony would not change the assessment of effective personal management.
