OR; Zweite Abteilung: Die einzelnen Vertragsverhältnisse; Dreizehnter Titel: Der Auftrag; Erster Abschnitt: Der einfache Auftrag; C. Wirkungen; II. Verpflichtungen des Beauftragten; 1. Vorschriftsgemässe Ausführung
Art. 397 OR
Hat der Auftraggeber für die Besorgung des übertragenen Geschäftes eine Vorschrift gegeben, so darf der Beauftragte nur insofern davon abweichen, als nach den Umständen die Einholung einer Erlaubnis nicht tunlich und überdies anzunehmen ist, der Auftraggeber würde sie bei Kenntnis der Sachlage erteilt haben.
Ist der Beauftragte, ohne dass diese Voraussetzungen zutreffen, zum Nachteil des Auftraggebers von dessen Vorschriften abgewichen, so gilt der Auftrag nur dann als erfüllt, wenn der Beauftragte den daraus erwachsenen Nachteil auf sich nimmt.
