Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the claimant's damage compensation must be reduced under Art. 44 OR for failure to mitigate loss by taking reasonably possible work.
Decisione estratta
Yes. The claimant had a duty to undertake reasonable reintegration efforts and the income she could have earned was properly attributed to her sphere of responsibility; the reduction of the compensation was upheld.
Motivazione estratta
Art. 44 OR codifies the duty to mitigate and allows reduction where the injured party failed to take reasonable measures. Since the claimant's earning capacity remained economically usable and the lower court found, in binding factual findings, that suitable employment was available and reasonable, the appellate court saw no misuse of discretion.
