Article 1511
Correction by Court
(1)
The Court may reduce the stipulated penalty upon the demand of the debtor if it is manifest that equity so requires. The Court, however, may not award the creditor less than the compensation for injury due by law for nonperformance of the obligation.
#(2)
The Court may award supplementary compensation upon the demand of the creditor if it is evident that equity so requires; this compensation is in addition to the stipulated penalty intended to replace reparation due by law.
