Questão jurídica principal
Whether the Ticino court violated the right to be heard by failing to address relevant documentary evidence on damages.
Decisão extraída
Yes. The appellate court had to examine whether, without an expert report, the pleadings and evidence already allowed quantification of the damage; it could not simply rely on the absence of a requested expert opinion.
Fundamentação extraída
Art. 29(2) Constitution requires the judge to assess relevant evidence and explain it in the reasoning. The cantonal judgment did not address other evidence said to permit damage calculation, so it lacked sufficient evidentiary assessment.
