Primary Text
Whenever the things united can be
separated without injury, their respective owners may
demand their separation.
Nevertheless, in case the thing united for the use,
embellishment or perfection of the other, is much more
precious than the principal thing, the owner of the former
may demand its separation, even though the thing to
which it has been incorporated may suffer some injury.
