Article 753

De l'effet des Obligations

Contract Law
Titre XVII: Des Contrats ou Obligations conventionnelles en général (On Contracts or Conventional Obligations in General)
Chapitre II: De l'effet des Obligations (On the Effect of Obligations)

Si en cas d'inexécution de la convention, il a été stipulé une somme déterminée pour dommages et intérêts, il ne peut en être alloué une plus forte, ni une moindre.

Life lesson: When the contract sets the price of failure, the court must honor that number — no more, no less.
Notes: Liquidated damages clause: court bound to stipulated amount. Cf. Code Napoléon Art. 1152.
