Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the claim was time-barred under Article 60 CO
Extrahierter Entscheid
The annual limitation period began at the earliest on 1996-08-30, when the plaintiff had the information needed to sue; the 1997 execution interrupted prescription, so the action was not time-barred.
Extrahierte Begründung
Prescription starts with actual knowledge of damage, nature and essential elements, not merely potential discoverability. The plaintiff needed time to verify the cause and quantify the loss with expert help.
