If by the will of only one owner, but in good
faith, two things of the same or different kinds are mixed
or confused, the rights of the owners shall be determined
by the provisions of the preceding article.
If the one who caused the mixture or confusion acted in
bad faith, he shall lose the thing belonging to him thus
mixed or confused, besides being obliged to pay
indemnity for the damages caused to the owner of the
other thing with which his own was mixed. (382)
