Question juridique clé
Whether the 1989 publicly law property restriction was void for lack of legal basis, public interest, or valid consent
Solution extraite
The restriction was not void; it rested on a clear legal basis, served a substantial public interest, and the former owner had expressly agreed to it.
Motifs extraits
The court held that Zurich law allowed residential-area transfers, and the planning statute required linking such transfers to the building permit. Prior written consent in the lease and later express confirmation meant no serious impairment of the owner's legal position, so any procedural defect could not justify nullity.
