§ 29. Other liability for damages for a tradesperson (håndverker)

This section extends the liability for damages in § 28. The first subsection says that the same rules apply when an item or property is damaged while it is with the service provider or otherwise under his control. The second subsection covers other loss in connection with the job, that is, loss that does not come from delay or defect. In that case, the service provider is liable if the loss is due to error or negligence (uaktsomhet) on his part. The section belongs to chapter V on the service provider's liability for damages, together with § 30 on how much compensation (erstatning) you can claim and § 31 on standard compensation (normalerstatning) for delay.
