Question juridique clé
Whether the written 8 July 1993 agreement was complete and binding, or subject to a reserved later agreement on additional compensation.
Solution extraite
The agreement was complete and binding; no reserved later arrangement on compensation was proven or could be inferred.
Motifs extraits
The court held that the lower court's finding of the parties' actual intent was binding on appeal. The defendant's reliance on the brewery's later silence and settlement offers only attacked evidence appreciation. Passive behavior did not amount to a declaration of intent without additional circumstances, and none showed that the brewery accepted an additional hectolitre-based fee as a condition of the loan.
