Key legal question
Whether the burden of proof for the client’s instructions and the alleged breach lay with the plaintiff or the bank under Art. 8 CC
Extracted holding
The plaintiff had to prove the content of the instructions and the alleged breach; Art. 8 CC was correctly applied.
Extracted reasoning
The creditor must prove facts founding the claim, while the debtor proves facts neutralizing it. The court also noted that the complaint attacked factual appreciation, which is not reviewable in reform proceedings.
