Question juridique clé
Whether the appellant was bound as borrower under the loan agreement despite the wording of the 11 December 1995 letter and later fax.
Solution extraite
The objective interpretation of the writings showed that the appellant, together with his brother, was a borrower and therefore liable for repayment.
Motifs extraits
The purpose, wording, joint references to the brothers and the later fax promising fulfillment confirmed a joint loan relationship; the ambiguity rule did not apply.
