Article 297Collection of Fruits by Holders of Rights of Retention

第二百九十七条(留置権者による果実の収取)

A holder of a right of retention may collect fruits derived from the thing retained, and appropriate the same to the satisfaction of that holder's own claim before other obligees.

留置権者は、留置物から生ずる果実を収取し、他の債権者に先立って、これを自己の債権の弁済に充当することができる。

The fruits referred to in the preceding paragraph must be appropriated first to the payment of interest on the claim, and any remainder must be appropriated to the satisfaction of the principal.

前項の果実は、まず債権の利息に充当し、なお残余があるときは元本に充当しなければならない。
