Key legal question
Whether the federal appeal could challenge the refusal of additional expert evidence and the weighing of expert reports under Art. 8 CC.
Extracted holding
No. The complaint attacked evidentiary appraisal, not the allocation of the burden of proof; Art. 8 CC was not violated.
Extracted reasoning
Art. 8 CC governs burden of proof, not the judge's free assessment of evidence. Once the court is convinced by the evidence, the issue is no longer burden allocation but evidentiary appraisal, which cannot be reviewed in reform appeal.
