Hebrew to English translations [PRO]
Law/Patents - Law: Contract(s) / Other | | Hebrew term or phrase: עסקינן | (Apologies in advance for providing context in rough translated form. The text is on a scanned PDF and cannot be cut and pasted).
The translation deals with demands by a widow, for payment of sums allegedly owed to her and her late husband by a business associate, and the issue at stake is a lack of documentation of payments which the defendant claims to have made.
X provided no reliable, objective evidence that he paid the amounts detailed in the accountant's professional opinion to the Y couple. This burden was imposed on X who held the Y couple's monies in his control. The absence of these proofs, and the existence of proofs relating to payments carried out in later years, emphasize the uncertainty regarding the rate of sums that were paid, for which there are no proofs
