Key legal question
Whether the son had an implied right to cash remuneration for work in his father's business under Art. 338 OR.
Extracted holding
No additional cash wage was owed beyond maintenance in kind; the circumstances did not show a tacit agreement for further remuneration.
Extracted reasoning
Art. 338 OR requires remuneration only when, according to the circumstances, service could be expected only against payment. Here the son received board, lodging, clothing, and pocket money, was not fully capable like an ordinary worker, and never asserted a wage claim during the employment period. Those facts excluded a tacit wage agreement.
