What is the ruling when a claimant brings evidence for a debt against an absent person through their agent, and the agent denies the claim?

Primary text

When a claimant presents proof regarding a debt owed by an absent person to the judge through the absent person's agent, and the agent denies the debt, the judge shall administer an oath to the claimant and then rule in favor of the claimant for the money. The judicial ruling is established because the judgment against an absent person does not require the presence of their agent for its validity.
