Article 868

De l'Extinction des Obligations

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

Quand deux personnes se trouvent débitrices l'une envers l'autre, il s'opère une compensation, qui, de la manière et dans le cas ci-après, éteint les dettes.

Life lesson: Mutual debts cancel each other out — this is set-off, and it happens automatically.
Notes: Set-off (compensation) defined: mutual debts between same persons extinguish each other. Cf. Code Napoléon Art. 1289.
