Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the defendants' limitation defense barred the plaintiffs' warranty claims for defects in the roof.
Extrahierter Entscheid
The claims were time-barred in the absence of interruption, but the court held that the association's acts interrupted limitation for the individual owners.
Extrahierte Begründung
Limitation-interrupting acts under Art. 135 No. 2 CO normally must emanate from the creditor, but interruption is also effective where the debtor can, under the principle of good faith, identify which claim is being asserted. Here the defendants knew the defect claims belonged to the individual owners, because they had waived limitation in favor of the owners, and the conciliation request and debt-enforcement notices identified the individual owners and the defective roof claims.
