Key legal question
Whether the reimbursement claim for housewart costs was subject to a five-year or ten-year limitation period.
Extracted holding
The claim is subject to the five-year limitation period for periodic prestations under Art. 128 No. 1 CO.
Extracted reasoning
The costs were based on a single contractual basis and recurred regularly, even if amounts and intervals were not identical. Periodic prestations need not be monthly or quarterly; yearly or half-yearly recurring payments also qualify.
