Illegal Use of a Name · Preserved transcription; page attribution imported from the source collection. Verify against the original.
After the death of a person or if a person is not in a position to manifest his will, the same right appertains to each of his descendants and to his spouse, even when they themselves do not bear such name.
Damages for moral prejudice may be awarded to the person demanding them if the illegal use of the name does not cease immediately, when such cessation has been demanded.
