Art. 101 Bundesgesetz vom 30. März 1911 betreffend die Ergänzung des Schweizerischen Zivilgesetzbuches (OR)
OR; Erste Abteilung: Allgemeine Bestimmungen; Zweiter Titel: Die Wirkung der Obligationen; Zweiter Abschnitt: Die Folgen der Nichterfüllung; A. Ausbleiben der Erfüllung; II. Mass der Haftung und Umfang des Schadenersatzes; 3. Haftung für Hilfspersonen
Art. 101 OR
Wer die Erfüllung einer Schuldpflicht oder die Ausübung eines Rechtes aus einem Schuldverhältnis, wenn auch befugterweise, durch eine Hilfsperson, wie Hausgenossen oder Arbeitnehmer vornehmen lässt, hat dem andern den Schaden zu ersetzen, den die Hilfsperson in Ausübung ihrer Verrichtungen verursacht.
Diese Haftung kann durch eine zum voraus getroffene Verabredung beschränkt oder aufgehoben werden.
Steht aber der Verzichtende im Dienst des andern oder folgt die Verantwortlichkeit aus dem Betriebe eines obrigkeitlich konzessionierten Gewerbes, so darf die Haftung höchstens für leichtes Verschulden wegbedungen werden.
