Chapter III: Actions available to the creditor

The creditor is entitled to the performance of the obligation; he may compel the debtor to do so under the conditions laid down by law.

Where the failure of the debtor to exercise his rights and actions of a proprietary nature compromises the rights of his creditor, the latter may exercise them on behalf of his debtor, with the exception of those which relate exclusively to his person.

The creditor may also act in his own name to have acts performed by his debtor in fraud of his rights declared unenforceable against him, provided that he establishes, in the case of an act for valuable consideration, that the third party contracting with him had knowledge of the fraud.

In cases determined by law, the creditor may act directly in payment of his claim against a debtor of his debtor.
