Questão jurídica principal
Whether the signed loan acknowledgment was based on a validly concluded loan contract and established a debt of EUR 200,000 plus interest
Decisão extraída
The acknowledgment reversed the burden of proof; the debtor failed to show absence, invalidity, simulation, error, non-payment, or repayment. The loan contract was validly concluded and the debt was proven.
Fundamentação extraída
The document expressly acknowledged an existing past loan; the company’s administrator had signed it; the pledged security and later correspondence corroborated the debt. The debtor’s alternative account of a broader financial settlement was unproven.
