This article has not been amended since the law was issued.

1- إذا تعلق الحق بشيء معين بالنوع لا بالذات، فإنه لا يختص بشيء بذاته من ذلك النوع إلا بإفرازه.

2- إذا لم يقم المدين بتنفيذ التزامه جاز للدائن أن يحصل على شيء من هذا النوع على نفقة المدين بعد إذن المحكمة أو دون إذنها في حال الاستعجال، وذلك دون إخلال بحق الدائن في التعويض.
