Art. 15 bern. StsV; Art. 69 OR analog; limitation of state liability claims for official misconduct. Claims for damages against the canton arising from official acts are subject, as to limitation, to the subsidiary application of Art. 69 OR. Where the alleged conduct does not amount to an intentional criminal offence but only to negligent official wrongdoing, the ordinary one-year period under Art. 69(1) OR applies; Art. 69(2) OR is reserved for cases in which the damage-causing act also constitutes an offence subject to the longer criminal limitation period. Established cantonal jurisprudence on the applicable limitation rule is to be followed absent a compelling reason to depart from it.
