Key legal question
Whether the insured person was entitled to a contribution exceeding CHF 500 for structural adaptations required for a stair lift.
Extracted holding
No. The factual findings that only minor adaptation of the ground-floor railing was needed, without architect or structural engineer, were not manifestly incorrect.
Extracted reasoning
The Federal Court accepted the lower court's reliance on SAHB technical assessments and held that the evidentiary assessment was not arbitrary. The appellant's contrary drawings and measurements did not demonstrate an obvious error.
