Haftung des Verkäufers eines WE-Objekts sowie des WE-Verwalters als dessen Erfüllungsgehilfen für den unrichtig ermittelten laufenden Sanierungsaufwand des Hauses?

Der im Kaufvertrag über ein WE-Objekt verwendete Ausdruck "Lasten" ist in Richtung einer reinen Sachhaftung der WE-Liegenschaft/des Mindestanteils oder zumindest mit einem "dieser Haftung nahekommenden Sachbezug" auszulegen. Deshalb fallen die nach dem Kauf dem Erwerber des WE-Objekts vorgeschriebenen, anteiligen Beitragsleistungen (hier: "§ 18 MRG-Vorschreibungen" als Sanierungsaufwand für das Haus) nicht unter die Gew?hrleistungspflicht des Verk?ufers, sondern stellen vielmehr bei Verschulden eine Verletzung seiner vorvertraglichen Aufkl?rungspflichten ("culpa in contrahendo") gegenüber dem Kaufinteressenten dar. Da den WE-Verwaltervertrag (= Bevollm?chtigungsvertrag iSd §§ 1002ff ABGB) die Eigentümergemeinschaft als teilrechtsf?higer Machtgeber nach § 18 Abs 1 und 3 iVm § 19 WEG 2002 – und nicht die einzelnen Wohnungseigentümer! – mit dem WE-Verwalter schlie?t, haftet der Verk?ufer bei Verletzung vorvertraglicher Aufkl?rungspflichten gegenüber dem Kaufinteressenten nicht aus dem Titel der Erfüllungsgehilfenhaftung gem § 1313a ABGB für das Verschulden des WE-Verwalters. Auch der Immobilienmakler haftet als Verhandlungsgehilfe des Verk?ufers dem Kaufinteressenten nur bei schuldhafter Verletzung der vorvertraglichen Aufkl?rungspflicht. Zwischen dem K?ufer des WE-Objekts und dem WE-Verwalter besteht kein Vertrag, so dass dieser ihm blo? bei wissentlich (= mit Sch?digungsvorsatz) falsch erteiltem Rat nach § 1300 ABGB aus dem Titel des Schadenersatzes für den nicht bekanntgegebenen künftigen, anteiligen Sanierungsaufwand haftet.

Abweichender Aufteilungsschlüssel nach § 19 WEG 1975 – Übergangsrecht zum 3. WÄG

Nach stRsp bezieht sich die Rückwirkung eines Gesetzes nur auf jene Tatbest?nde, für die sie ausdrücklich ausgesprochen wird. Das übergangsrecht des 3. W?G h?lt am Grundsatz fest, dass neues Recht (hier: nach § 19 Abs 2 WEG 1975 einstimmig schriftlich zu vereinbarender, vom Anteilsverh?ltnis abweichender Aufteilungsschlüssel der Liftkosten) nicht auf Sachverhalte anzuwenden ist, die vor Inkrafttreten der neuen Bestimmung endgültig und abschlie?end verwirklicht worden sind (hier: Mehrheitsvereinbarung der Wohnungseigentümer gem § 19 Abs 1 Z 1 WEG 1975 idF § 56 Z 2 MRG). Auch § 56 Abs 9 WEG 2002 ?ndert nichts daran, dass die seinerzeit von den Wohnungseigentümern geschlossene Mehrheitsvereinbarung nach § 19 Abs 1 Z 1 WEG 1975 weiterhin wirksam bleibt.     

Lockdown labs: Pivoting to remote learning in forensic science higher education

Forensic Science training and education is reliant on the application of knowledge to casework scenarios and the development of key practical skills that provide a platform for career development in the field. The COVID-19 pandemic introduced a number of challenges to effectively deliver practical content online and remotely, whilst still meeting intended learning outcomes, accreditation requirements, and attaining a high level of student engagement and experience. The MSc Forensic Science programme featured in this study is a one-year degree programme with a strong emphasis on the practical elements of forensic science, and a diverse international student cohort. Therefore, the restrictions associated with the pandemic made it very difficult not only to plan the delivery of material but also to adapt the content itself for effective online and remote learning.By focusing on the intended learning outcomes, a number of innovative teaching practices were developed to successfully transition from face-to-face teaching to online and remote delivery. A range of online and practical resources were developed, including a laboratory home kit, demonstration videos, online practical technique simulations (produced by Learning Science), data analysis tasks, and interactive workshops and activities, all designed to consolidate student learning and build confidence, in preparation for such a time that on campus practical teaching could resume. The initial feedback received from these activities from both staff and students was extremely positive and the transition from classroom to online teaching was a success, as reflected in student attainment and later student feedback. Students reported that they had a better understanding of what was expected of them, including knowledge of protocols and techniques, and felt much more confident moving into the next stage of their learning development. Even though the practical laboratory sessions were the most significantly affected by the restrictions associated with the pandemic, and resulted in reduced interaction for the students, this was counteracted by virtual sessions and workshops, which gave students the opportunity to engage with each other and communicate their thoughts and opinions, ultimately building key presentation and group working skills.This case study will detail the pivot to remote learning, as well as critically evaluating the feedback from students and discussing the changes that are likely to be retained as longer-term teaching practices, versus those that were a necessary temporary addition or adjustment in response to the pandemic.     

Forensic examination of security features of the CDC-issued COVID-19 vaccination card and suggested improvements to minimize counterfeiting

During the COVID-19 pandemic, the United States released the CDC-issued vaccination card to document the status of immunizations. It eventually was used as a verification system to allow patrons to safely access public venues. This is/was apparently a simple printed piece of paper with minimal security features which made it an easy target for counterfeiters with little expertise required. Those unvaccinated who wished to enter areas that required proof of the COVID-19 vaccine were soon finding alternative illegal methods to do so which led to public health concerns. This research was divided into two parts. Part A aimed to forensically identify the security features with a video spectral comparator and a stereomicroscope. Ten “known” blank cards were collected directly from dispensaries that administered the vaccine and 68 “unknowns” from individuals who received the COVID-19 vaccine. Part B aimed to evaluate the authentication systems employed by countries outside the United States to propose a model on how the vaccination card could be improved and what security features should be included for future instances requiring proof of immunization. The results revealed the CDC document was produced with minimal security features making the document prone to counterfeiting. Furthermore, based on the information collected from other countries' vaccination certificates, it is recommended to develop a dual authentication system, with digital and printable aspects, that contains a QR code linked to a database. Other security features may include a non-optical brightener substrate, security fibers, a watermarked logo, offset printing, and a geographical color-coded system.     

Radical Islam and the struggle for influence in Central Asia

The threat of an Iranian‐style Islamic takeover of the newly independent states of Central Asia is currently more of a potential than actual threat to the secular rulers of these countries. Nonetheless, economic, environmental and nationality problems render these rulers vulnerable to a future Islamic potential challenge. The threat of Islam has been used by local leaders to justify dictatorships and intervene in neighboring countries, while foreign governments, such as Turkey and Israel, have sought to exploit the threat of Islam in Central Asia to strengthen their support from the United States. By contrast, Iran has downplayed the Islamic factor in its foreign policy toward these new republics and as a result has enhanced its relationship with Russia, which seeks to establish its hegemony over the region.
