Page 181 - Important Provisions of The New Civil Code

Article 545. If at the time the good faith ceases,

there should be any natural or industrial fruits,

the possessor shall have a right to a part of the

expenses of cultivation, and to a part of the net

harvest, both in proportion to the time of the

possession.

The charges shall be divided on the same basis

by the two possessors.

The owner of the thing may, should he so

desire, give the possessor in good faith the right

to finish the cultivation and gathering of the

growing fruits, as an indemnity for his part of

the expenses of cultivation and the net

proceeds; the possessor in good faith who for

any reason whatever should refuse to accept

this concession, shall lose the right to be

indemnified in any other manner. (452a)
