French term

la preuve lui revient

French to English Law/Patents Law (general) Settlement agreement
This is from a settlement agreement and is in brackets at the end of a sentence that stipulates that the Employee is entitled to a severance payment even if she finds a new job during the advance notice period for the termination of her employment contract.

I know that it is referring to the fact that the onus is on her to provide evidence of this new job but I don't know how to translate it succinctly. Is there a simple way of translating this?

Thank you

I just wanted to say that i don't think the 'burden of proof' relates to the new job (that wouldn't make much sense, would it?), but rather, proving the fact that she had properly cut short the period of notice (registered mail, etc.)

Here is the full sentence. Dans cette hypothèse, l’Employée percevra également l’indemnité de dédit susvisée de neuf mois, pour autant que l’Employée met anticipativement fin au préavis en raison du fait qu’elle a trouvé un autre emploi (la preuve lui revient).

4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "Thank you - it was "burden of proof" that I couldn't quite put my finger on. I wanted to make it clear that she must provide the proof so this is perfect. Thank you to everyone for your help."

upon proof that such employment exists.

Dans cette hypothèse, (si) l’Employée met anticipativement fin au préavis en raison du fait qu’elle a trouvé un autre emploi (elle) percevra également l’indemnité de neuf mois, upon proof that such employment exists.

I hope this gives you some ideas

the burden of proof lies on her

the phrase prior to the parenthesis is clear enough. So it remains to say that the burden of proof lies in her
