That with respect all theburden of proof fell upon the plaintiff, so that he succeeds inhis demands. In order that the plaintiff succeeds in an actionbrought forward by him he had to prove various things...omissis... It is clear from the records of the proceedingsthat the business was not simply one of the sale of water, butwas part of a wider business.The agreement was between the plaintiff and thedefendant and this agreement was regarding the sale of atruck.

Apparti il-prezztat-trakk jew kienx jinvolvi biss posponiment tal-ħlas talprezzta’ ilma, sa meta t-trakk ikun tħallas....omissis...Hemm imbagħad indizji qawwijin ħafna li messemhominduċew lill-ewwel Qorti biex tara li l-verżjoni tal-atturmhux biss ma kienitx kredibbli imma l-komportament kollutal-partijiet kien jaqbel mal-fatt li ma kien hemm ebda ħsiebli ta’ dak l-ilma kellu eventwalment jsir ħlas.L-attur li qiegħed jirreklama prezz, kien tenut jipproval-ftehim dwar il-prezz tal-oġġett kif ukoll jagħmel prova talkwantitàli tkun ġiet konsenjata. Ma jistax jipprentendi, lil-Qorti, għandha toqgħod fuq stima li jagħmel huwa stess ta’x’suppost ha l-konvenut bhala ilma meta evidetement kellumezz semplici ħafna biex jistabilixxi dan mingħajr dubbjugħal ħadd....omissis...Kien obbligu tal-attur li huwa jipprokura li jkollu din ilprovau ma setgħetx il-Qorti, tistrieh fuq kongettura u cioèl-istima tal-istess attur, ta’ x’suppost il-konvenut ħa bħalailma....omissis...Naturalment billi l-konvenut kien ftehim li l-ilma makienx se jħallas tiegħu ma sammx rendikont tal-konsum.Imma fil-fatt lanqas żamm rendikont tal-konsum l-attur...omissis... Bir-rispett tali nuqqas għandu jkun fatali għattalbatal-attur indipendentement mill-kwistjoni ta’ x’kienftehim għaliex jonqos il-prova tal-ammont ikkonsmat. Huwaukoll importanti li wieħed jinnota li ma hux sew li wieħedjoqgħod bil-għama fuq kalkolu u stima li għamel l-atturmeta ma kien hemm ebda kontroll ta’ dik lis-stima.Fl-aħħar nett l-esponent jirrileva li stante li ma kienhemm l-ebda ammont likwidat l-ebda forma ta’ invoicingu l-ebda kont, ma setgħux jiddekorru ebda mgħax qabel l-ammont ma jiġi ġudizzjarjament likwidat....omissis...Għaldaqstant l-esponent filwaqt li jagħmel riferenzagħall-provi ġa prodotti u fil-waqt li jagħmel riferenza għallproviga prodotti u fil waqt li jirriserva li jipproduċi dawkil-provi kollha permessi mil-liġi, inkluża is-subizzjoni talattur,jitlob bir-rispett li dina l-Onorabbli Qorti, tirrevoka s-sentenza tal-Onorabbli Prim’Awla tal-Qorti Ċivili, fil-kawżafl-ismijiet premessi tal-14 ta’ Diċembru 2011 u b’ hekkThe contestation was whether the agreement regarding theconsignement of water was a consignement without anotherpayment. Apart from the price of the truck or whether itinvolved only a postponment of payment of the price ofwater, till the truck is payed....omissis...There are then strong indications that should haveinduced the Court of First Instance to see that the version ofthe plaintiff was not only not credible but all the behaviourof the parties conformed with the fact that there was nointention that the water was to be eventually paid.The plaintiff who is claiming a price, was bound to proveagreement regarding the price of the object, as well as toprovide proof as to the amount delivered. He cannot expect,that the Court, should rely on an estimation he himself madeof what the defendant should have taken, when evidently hehad a very simple means to establish this without doubt foranybody....omissis...It was a duty of the plaintiff, to see that he has this proofand the Court could not rely on conjecture and namely theestimation of the plaintiff of what the defendant had takenas water....omissis...Naturally as the defendant had agreed that the water wasnot to be paid he did not keep an account of the consumption.But in fact he did not keep an account of the consumptionof the plaintiff ...omissis... With respect this default shouldbe fatal to the demand of the plaintiff, independently fromthe question of what they had agreed because the proof ofthe amount consumed is still necessary. It is also importantthat one notes that it is not correct that one relies blindly ona calculation and estimation which the plaintiff had madewhen there was no control of that estimation.In the end the applicant points out that there was no amountliquidated , no form of invoicing and no account, no interestcould run, before the interest is judicially liquidated....omissis...Thus the applicant whilst referring to the proof alreadyproduced and whilst referring to the proof already producedand whilst reserving to proof all the proof permitted by law,including the evidence of the plaintiff, prays with respectthat this Honourable Court, revokes the judgement of theHonourable First Hall Civil Court, in the cause in the namespremised of the 14th December 2011 and thus decide by
