      **第一項**  売主の債権者が第四百二十三条の規定により売主に代わって買戻しをしようとするときは、買主は、裁判所において選任した鑑定人の評価に従い、不動産の現在の価額から売主が返還すべき金額を控除した残額に達するまで売主の債務を弁済し、なお残余があるときはこれを売主に返還して、買戻権を消滅させることができる。

      If an obligee of a seller seeks to effect redemption on behalf of the seller pursuant to the provisions of Article 423, the buyer may extinguish the right of redemption by paying the debts of the seller, to the extent of the balance obtained by deducting the amount the seller is to pay from the current value of the immovables as evaluated by a court-appointed appraiser, and, if any positive balance remains, by refunding the same to the seller.
