Question juridique clé
Whether the cantonal court violated Art. 8 CC by treating advances as proved without requiring the defendant to prove payment.
Solution extraite
No. The court had relied on the claimant's own admissions and on bank withdrawals; once the facts were established by evidence assessment, Art. 8 CC no longer applied.
Motifs extraits
Art. 8 CC allocates the burden of proof only when a fact remains unproven. It does not govern evidence-taking or review of evidence. The complaint attacked cantonal procedural law and evidence assessment, which are not reviewable in reform proceedings.
