Key legal question
Whether the cantonal court violated the right to evidence by refusing further evidence on the wife's alleged hidden assets and income
Extracted holding
No. The refusal was based on non-arbitrary anticipatory assessment of the evidence and the requested proof was not shown to be decisive.
Extracted reasoning
Art. 8 CC does not require taking all offered evidence; the judge may refuse further evidence if it cannot prove the alleged facts or would not change the outcome. The appellant did not substantiate a concrete, relevant hidden fortune that could justify deviating from equal division principles.
