Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the access road and canal were defective works under Art. 58 OR due to lack of separation or safeguarding
Extrahierter Entscheid
The access road was fit for ordinary use and the canal’s purpose was not affected by the absence of a barrier; no work defect was established.
Extrahierte Begründung
The missing barrier, if relevant, concerned the access road rather than the canal. A defect exists only where the work lacks sufficient safety for intended use; an unattended toddler on the road was not an intended use, and no exceptional duty arose.
