Extrait par Omnilex
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.
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.

Whether the TA had jurisdiction to review approval of the land-use plan
The TA is competent to hear the challenge against approval of the land-use plan.
The court treated the approval decision as falling within the TA's review competence under the applicable planning law framework.
Whether a witness should be heard on the reality of the real-estate transaction
No witness needed to be heard on that point because such testimony has no probative value in this context.
The court considered that testimonial evidence was not suitable to establish the reality of the transaction in question.
Whether the TA could extend its review to expediency considerations about how the parcel should be built on
The TA may not extend its review to expediency considerations concerning the manner of constructing the disputed parcel.
The court limited its examination to legality and excluded review of purely opportunistic or discretionary construction choices.
