Question juridique clé
Whether the heirs proved that A. made alleged cash payments to the bank before account opening, creating an agency relationship and supporting their counterclaim.
Solution extraite
No. The heirs bore the burden of proof, but the alleged cash transfers were not proven; therefore no agency contract was established.
Motifs extraits
The court upheld the lower court's finding of evidentiary non liquet. The heirs relied on a factual assertion from which they derived rights, so they had the burden under Art. 8 ZGB. Their arguments largely attacked the assessment of evidence, which is not reviewable on appeal.
