Question juridique clé
Whether the parents were entitled to more than CHF 30,000 each as moral damages under state liability law
Solution extraite
The amounts awarded and confirmed were not manifestly too low; no additional moral damages were due.
Motifs extraits
The Federal Court held that the assessment of moral damages is reviewed with restraint and that the Federal Administrative Court had correctly applied the two-step method, the comparative range, and the case-specific criteria. The circumstances did not justify an increase beyond CHF 30,000 each.
