Questão jurídica principal
Whether the applicant's 22 May 2008 letter was a formal notice under Art. 4(4) Geneva LCI allowing him to start works.
Decisão extraída
The letter could be interpreted as not containing a formal warning that he would execute the plans; therefore it was not a valid notice under Art. 4(4) LCI.
Fundamentação extraída
The court held that the wording only expressed impatience and requested a permit; it did not clearly state an intention to commence construction, so the department could still decide on the merits.
