Questão jurídica principal
Who bore the burden of proving whether the incapacity was due to sickness or an accident under the contract and Art. 8 ZGB?
Decisão extraída
The employer bore the burden of proving an accident-based cause as an impediment to the claim; the court accepted sickness-based incapacity.
Fundamentação extraída
The claim was for damages for breach of the employment contract. Under the contract and the insurance terms, sickness coverage was the relevant basis; accident was an exception/defeating fact, so Art. 8 ZGB placed the burden on the employer.
