Point V. On the Effects of an Alternative Contract

855.

I said legitimately, that is, at his own will if the choice is in the hands of the debtor, and at the will of the creditor if it is in the hands of the creditor.

II. The effects are sufficiently drawn out from the notion; besides this, let the law of one's country be consulted.
