Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the owner could be convicted of negligent homicide for ordering only partial lift repairs and reopening the lift.
Decisione estratta
The owner could not be held criminally liable for negligent homicide on these findings, because the required breach of duty and adequate causation were not established.
Motivazione estratta
As a layperson, he was entitled to rely on specialist repair companies and could not be expected to know that the limited repairs would leave a life-threatening danger. Ordering the repair of the lift by specialists was not, in ordinary experience, suitable to cause the death of a user.
