Article 1570
Valid Defenses
(1)
The debtor may set up against the assignee, as he could have done against the assignor, any defenses which were available to him upon his becoming aware of the assignment.
#(2)
Where he had a claim against the assignor which was not yet exigible at the time, he may invoke a set-off, provided his claim does not fall due later than the assigned claim does.
