Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the plaintiff had proved causation and whether Art. 8 ZGB was violated
Extrahierter Entscheid
The court held that the lower court applied the correct standard of proof; whether the evidence established causation in the individual case was a matter of evidence assessment not reviewable on appeal.
Extrahierte Begründung
In natural causation cases where direct proof is impossible, the reduced standard of predominant probability applies. Once the cantonal court reached its factual conclusion under the correct standard, Art. 8 ZGB was not implicated.
