De l'Extinction du Cautionnement

Contract Law
Titre XXVIII: Du Cautionnement (On Suretyship)
Chapitre III: De l'Extinction du Cautionnement (On the Extinction of Suretyship)

La caution est déchargée de son obligation, si le créancier a volontairement reçu en payement de la dette, soit un immeuble, soit un effet quelconque, quoiqu'il en fût par la suite évincé.

Life lesson: If the creditor accepted property as payment — even if they later lose it through eviction — the surety is off the hook.
Notes: Dation en paiement discharges surety: creditor's voluntary acceptance of thing in lieu of payment releases surety, even if creditor later evicted. Risk on creditor who accepted substitute.
