第四百七十六条(弁済として引き渡した物の消費又は譲渡がされた場合の弁済の効力等)

In a case referred to in the preceding Article, if an obligee in good faith consumes or assigns things received in performance of an obligation, that performance is valid. In such a case, if the obligee has received a claim for compensation from a third party, the obligee is not precluded from seeking reimbursement from the person performing the obligation.

前条の場合において、債権者が弁済として受領した物を善意で消費し、又は譲り渡したときは、その弁済は、有効とする。この場合において、債権者が第三者から賠償の請求を受けたときは、弁済をした者に対して求償をすることを妨げない。
