Question juridique clé
Whether the agreement of 21 May 2005 transferred ownership of the show animals to Y.________ or merely created security rights.
Solution extraite
The agreement had to be understood as a sale; the security purpose did not turn it into a pledge arrangement.
Motifs extraits
Under Art. 18 OR, the wording and context showed an actual purchase: the document was titled as a purchase confirmation, expressly confirmed acquisition by Y.________, and referred to the possibility of later repurchase. No indications supported a pledge under Art. 884 ZGB.
