In a case involving claims for damages following a traffic accident where the injured party sought compensation for household services under Articles 42 para. 2 and 46 para. 1 of the Code of Obligations, the court addressed the calculation of household damages. The court upheld the lower court's application of a single hourly rate for both general housekeeping and childcare, reasoning that this established practice, adopted for reasons of practicality, does not imply that a reduced hourly rate must be applied when no childcare services are required; rather, the absence of childcare tasks is adequately accounted for by using a correspondingly lower total number of required hours.
