Article II. The Subject and Object of Restitution

¶1.

As is deduced from what has been said in n. 981, those are bound to restitution: 1° who unjustly possess another's thing, or at least unjustly accepted and possessed it; 2° who merely inflict damage on another by violating his rights; 3° who unjustly impede another from acquiring a good. There are added those who cooperate in another's injustice. We shall treat of each, at the same time explaining the things to be restored by them, or the object of restitution.
