Article 708Denial of Claim for Return for Illegal Causes

第七百八条(不法原因給付)

A person that has paid money or delivered a thing for an obligation for an illegal cause may not demand the return of the money paid or thing delivered; provided, however, that this does not apply if the illegal cause existed solely in relation to the beneficiary.

不法な原因のために給付をした者は、その給付したものの返還を請求することができない。ただし、不法な原因が受益者についてのみ存したときは、この限りでない。
