Article 1975
Improvements Made to a Movable
The holder shall not be entitled to any indemnity in respect of improvements he has made to the movable.
#Where such improvements have been made with the owner's consent, the holder may however demand the reimbursement of the amount he has spent or of the surplus value of the movable at the time of its return, whichever is the less.
#Even where the holder is not entitled to any indemnity, he may set off against any loss of value caused by deterioration for which he is liable but which is not due to his default, any increase he has brought about in the value of the movable.
#The holder may remove the improvements he has made to the movable, if this can be done without damaging it.
#The provisions of the current article are applicable by analogy to the possession of an immovable under a gratuitous contract of loan for use.
