Primary Text
Although the officious management may
not have been expressly ratified, the owner of the
property or business who enjoys the advantages of the
same shall be liable for obligations incurred in his interest,
and shall reimburse the officious manager for the
necessary and useful expenses and for the damages
which the latter may have suffered in the performance of
his duties.
The same obligation shall be incumbent upon him when
the management had for its purpose the prevention of an
imminent and manifest loss, although no benefit may
have been derived. (1893)
