Key legal question
Whether the cantonal court violated Art. 8 CC by treating the fax instructions as proven and shifting the risk of uncertainty to the borrower.
Extracted holding
No violation of Art. 8 CC was shown; the cantonal court did not resolve a doubt against the party bearing the burden of proof, but instead assessed the evidence and rejected the allegation that the fax was forged.
Extracted reasoning
Art. 8 CC governs the burden of proof, not the appraisal of evidence. The appellant merely sought to reargue the factual assessment, which is not open in reform proceedings; the cantonal court also treated the procedural objection to the fax's authenticity as barred under cantonal law.
