Cap. 16 Art. 1523When emphyteuta may claim compensation for improvement.

(1) Upon reversion, the emphyteuta shall not be entitled to any compensation in respect of the improvements, whatever their nature or value, unless reversion takes place for any of the causes mentioned in articles 1517 and 1518.

(2) In the cases mentioned in the said two articles, the dominus is bound to pay to the emphyteuta the price of the improvements, regard being had to their value at the time of the reversion, up to the amount by which the value of the tenement is found to have increased in consequence of such improvements at the time of the reversion, as well as to the remaining period of the emphyteusis.
