| Summary: | The Bern Chamber of Appeals has annulled the judgment of the Cantonal Court of Bern of 14 November 2016 and dismissed the action of I.________ SA against B.________ SA. I.________ SA had sued B.________ SA for damages due to defects in a wooden structure erected by B.________ SA. The Bern Chamber of Appeals came to the conclusion that the I.________ SA did not provide evidence of the shortcomings. B.________ SA therefore has no compensation to pay. The I.________ SA must bear the costs of the procedure. More detailed summary: I.________ SA had sued B.________ SA for damages in the amount of CHF 1.2 million. I.________ SA considered that B.________ SA had committed defects in the construction of a wooden structure on its behalf. The defects would have led to water ingress and mold formation. The Bern Chamber of Appeals has dismissed the action of I.________ SA. The Board came to the conclusion that I.________ SA did not provide evidence of the shortcomings. The I.________ SA had presented witness evidence that pointed to defects. However, the witness evidence was inconclusive. The Board therefore considered that I.________ SA could not prove that the defects were due to a culpable breach of duty by B.________ SA. B.________ SA therefore has no compensation to pay. The I.________ SA must bear the costs of the procedure. |
