Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the parties, by signing the 12 May 2004 loan agreement, requalified the earlier donation into a repayable loan for the same amount.
Decisione estratta
Yes. The lower court could find that both acts concerned the same patrimonial attribution and that the parties' real and common intent was to treat the amount as a loan.
Motivazione estratta
The wording of the loan agreement, the surrounding negotiations, and the parties' conduct supported the factual finding that the respondent intended to recover the sum previously donated. That finding was not arbitrary.
