Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the lift was defective within the meaning of Art. 58 OR
Extrahierter Entscheid
Yes. The lift's malfunction and ineffective overrun protection meant the installation did not provide the required safety in normal use.
Extrahierte Begründung
A work defect exists when a work, used as intended, lacks sufficient safety. Here the lift was properly used, yet due to a counting error it overran the target and end stations; the overrun protection failed to perform its intended function. Compliance with current standards and regular maintenance do not exclude a defect under the objective liability standard.
