Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the canton court violated Art. 8 CC by treating the existence and content of a second settlement as proven.
Extrahierter Entscheid
No. The lower court resolved the question through assessment of the evidence and findings of the parties' actual intent, not by allocating the risk of non-proof under Art. 8 CC.
Extrahierte Begründung
Art. 8 CC governs burden of proof only when a fact remains unproven. Where the judge is convinced by the evidence, the burden of proof becomes irrelevant. The canton court found, based on the circumstances, that the parties concluded and executed a second settlement.
