Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the refusal to hear proposed witnesses violated the right to be heard.
Extrahierter Entscheid
No. The lower court could rely on anticipatory assessment of evidence and legitimately consider the proposed testimony unnecessary and unreliable.
Extrahierte Begründung
The witnesses were closely connected to the failed company and unlikely to add anything beyond the written submissions; the appellants also failed to show that the omitted evidence was properly raised and relevant to the decisive questions.
