Article 299Demands for Reimbursement of Expenses by Holders of Rights of Retention

第二百九十九条(留置権者による費用の償還請求)

If the holder of a right of retention incurs necessary expenses with respect to the thing retained, that holder may have the owner reimburse the same.

留置権者は、留置物について必要費を支出したときは、所有者にその償還をさせることができる。

If the holder of a right of retention incurs beneficial expenses with respect to the thing retained, to the extent that there is currently an increase in value as a result of the same, that holder may have the expenses incurred or the increase in value reimbursed at the owner's choice; provided, however, that the court may, at the request of the owner, grant a reasonable period of time for the reimbursement of the same.

留置権者は、留置物について有益費を支出したときは、これによる価格の増加が現存する場合に限り、所有者の選択に従い、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、裁判所は、所有者の請求により、その償還について相当の期限を許与することができる。
