Subrogation by Contract · Preserved transcription; page attribution imported from the source collection. Verify against the original.
A debtor who borrows money or other fungible things to perform his obligation may subrogate the lender to the rights of the creditor, even without the consent of the latter.
Subrogation by the debtor can only be effected where the instrument evidencing the loan bears an authenticated date and that the use of the sum lent is expressly specified therein.
