W myśl art. 6 k.c. ciężar udowodnienia faktu spoczywa na osobie, która z faktu tego wywodzi skutki prawne. Skoro zatem strona pozwana kwestionowała fakt istnienia zobowiązania, jego wysokość, wymagalność jak i odsetki, to rolą powoda było przedłożenie stosownych dokumentów, a tym samym udowodnienie faktów, z których wywodzi skutki prawne.
