Primary Text
He shall be exempt from the obligation to
restore who, believing in good faith that the payment was
being made of a legitimate and subsisting claim,
destroyed the document, or allowed the action to
prescribe, or gave up the pledges, or cancelled the
guaranties for his right. He who paid unduly may proceed
only against the true debtor or the guarantors with
regard to whom the action is still effective. (1899)
