Question juridique clé
Whether the mother's satisfaction claim was time-barred under tort limitation rules or subject to the contract-based ten-year period.
Solution extraite
The mother was herself a contractual party to the birth-assistance agreement, so her satisfaction claim could be based on contractual breach and was not time-barred under the shorter tort period.
Motifs extraits
A birth-treatment contract concerns both mother and child and is concluded also in the mother's own interest; a satisfaction claim can arise from breach of that contract if Art. 49 OR conditions are met, and the ten-year period of Art. 127 OR applies.
