Omnilex-Zusammenfassung

The decision concerns a challenge to approval of a land-use plan in a development zone. The court held that the TA has competence to review such approval. It also refused to hear a witness on the reality of the real-estate transaction, finding that testimony lacks probative value for that issue. Finally, the court stated that its review cannot extend to expediency considerations about how the disputed parcel should be built.

Omnilex-Regeste

LALAT art. 35; jurisdiction over approval of land-use plans and limits of judicial review. The TA is competent to review approval decisions concerning planning instruments. In such proceedings, witness evidence may be refused where it is not capable of proving the decisive factual issue and has no probative value in the context at hand. The court's review is confined to legality; it may not extend to expediency or discretionary considerations relating to the manner in which a parcel should be developed or built on (consid. not specified).

Résumé

Compétence du TA pour connaître l'approbation de plans d'affectation. Il n'y a pas lieu d'entendre un témoin sur la réalité d'une transaction immobilière, faute de valeur probante d'un témoignage dans ce domaine. Le TA ne saurait étendre son examen à des considérations en opportunité ayant trait à la manière de construire la parcelle litigieuse.
