If a possessor returns a thing possessed by them, the possessor may have the person recovering the thing reimburse the possessor for the costs the possessor has paid for its preservation and other necessary expenses; provided, however, that if the possessor has acquired fruits, ordinary and necessary expenses are borne by the possessor.
占有者が占有物を返還する場合には、その物の保存のために支出した金額その他の必要費を回復者から償還させることができる。ただし、占有者が果実を取得したときは、通常の必要費は、占有者の負担に帰する。
With respect to the costs paid for by a possessor to improve the thing under their possession and other beneficial expenses, the possessor may have the person recovering the thing reimburse the possessor for either the costs the possessor has paid or the amount of the increased value, whichever the person recovering the thing chooses, but only if there is a current increase in value; provided, however, that with regard to a possessor in bad faith, the court may, at the request of the person recovering the thing, grant a reasonable period of time for the same.
占有者が占有物の改良のために支出した金額その他の有益費については、その価格の増加が現存する場合に限り、回復者の選択に従い、その支出した金額又は増価額を償還させることができる。ただし、悪意の占有者に対しては、裁判所は、回復者の請求により、その償還について相当の期限を許与することができる。
