Art. 401
4. Transfer of acquired rights 1 Where the mandatee acting on the mandator’s behalf acquires claims in his own name against third parties, such claims pass to the mandator provided he has fulfilled all his obligations towards the mandatee under the mandate relationship. 2 The same applies in relation to the mandatee’s assets if the mandatee is bankrupt. 3 Similarly, where the mandatee is bankrupt, the mandator may claim chattels of which the mandatee took possession in his own name but on the mandator’s behalf, subject to the mandatee’s own rights of lien. |
