Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the balcony railing constituted a defect under Art. 58 CO causing the fatal fall.
Decisione estratta
No work defect was established in the circumstances; the railing did not present a danger requiring immediate adaptation outside any renovation context.
Motivazione estratta
Although the railing fell short of the SIA standard, the apartment balcony was private, the tenant knew the conditions, no prior complaints or incidents were shown, and the accident resulted mainly from the deceased's own misuse and lack of due care.
