Art. 101 Legge federale del 30 marzo 1911 di complemento del Codice civile svizzero (CO)
CO; Parte prima: Disposizioni generali; Titolo secondo: Degli effetti delle obbligazioni; Capo secondo: Conseguenze dell’inadempimento; A. Inadempimento; II. Misura della responsabilità ed estensione del risarcimento; 3. Responsabilità per persona ausiliaria
Art. 101 CO
Chi affida, sia pure lecitamente, l’adempimento di una obbligazione o l’esercizio di un diritto derivante da un rapporto di obbligazione ad una persona ausiliaria, come un membro della comunione domestica o un lavoratore, deve risarcire all’altra parte il danno, che la commessa persona le cagiona nell’adempimento delle sue incombenze.
Questa responsabilità può essere preventivamente limitata o tolta mediante convenzione.
Se però chi rinuncia si trovi al servizio dell’altra parte, o la responsabilità consegua dall’esercizio di una industria sottoposta a pubblica concessione, la rinuncia può farsi al più per la responsabilità derivante da colpa leggera.
