Article 443. The expenses incurred in

improvements for pure luxury or mere pleasure

shall not be refunded to the possessor in bad

faith, but he may remove the objects for which

such expenses have been incurred, provided

that the thing suffers no injury thereby, and that

the lawful possessor does not prefer to retain

them by paying the value they may have at the

time he enters into possession. (445a)
