Questão jurídica principal
Whether the parents were entitled to a higher moral damages award under Art. 47 OR
Decisão extraída
The parents had a claim to moral damages, but the award of CHF 15,000 each was not manifestly unfair and complied with federal law.
Fundamentação extraída
The court accepted the trial court's factors: the victim was nearly 18 and still lived with his parents, the relationship was presumed close but not exceptionally harmonious, the killing was negligent rather than intentional, and the victim contributed to the escalation with his knife. Given these factors and comparative case law, the amount fell within the court's discretion.
