Art. 63
II. Payment in satisfaction of a non-existent obligation 1A person who has voluntarily satisfied a non-existent debt has a right to restitution of the sum paid only if he can prove that he paid it in the erroneous belief that the debt was owed. 2Restitution is excluded where payment was made in satisfaction of a debt that has prescribe or of a moral obligation. 3The provisions of federal debt collection and bankruptcy law governing the right to the restitution of payments made in satisfaction of non-existent claims are unaffected. |
