If the obligation consists in the payment of
a sum of money, and the debtor incurs in delay, the
indemnity for damages, there being no stipulation to the
contrary, shall be the payment of the interest agreed
upon, and in the absence of stipulation, the legal interest,
which is six per cent per annum. (1108)
