Art. 44 OR

Hat der Geschädigte in die schädigende Handlung eingewilligt, oder haben Umstände, für die er einstehen muss, auf die Entstehung oder Verschlimmerung des Schadens eingewirkt oder die Stellung des Ersatzpflichtigen sonst erschwert, so kann der Richter die Ersatzpflicht ermässigen oder gänzlich von ihr entbinden.

Würde ein Ersatzpflichtiger, der den Schaden weder absichtlich noch grobfahrlässig verursacht hat, durch Leistung des Ersatzes in eine Notlage versetzt, so kann der Richter auch aus diesem Grunde die Ersatzpflicht ermässigen.
