Art. 980
II. In the case of bearer coupons 1 Against a claim deriving from a bearer coupon, the obligor may not plead the defence that the debt principal has been redeemed. 2 However, when redeeming the debt principal, the obligor is entitled to retain an amount corresponding to the interest payable on coupons falling due in the future which are not handed in with the debt instruments until the prescriptive periods applicable to such coupons have expired, unless the coupons not handed in have been cancelled or the amount thereof has been secured. |
