The person against whom a disputed right has been assigned may be held harmless for it by the assignee, by reimbursing him for the actual price of the assignment together with expenses and fair costs, and with interest from the day on which the assignee has paid the price of the assignment made to him.
A thing is deemed to be litigious as soon as there is a trial and dispute on the merits of the right.
The provision set out in Article 1699 ceases: 1° Where the assignment has been made to a co-heir or co-owner of the right assigned; 2° Where it has been made to a creditor in payment of what is owed to him; 3° Where it has been made to the possessor of the inheritance subject to the disputed right.
The articles 1689 to 1691 and 1693 shall not apply to assignments governed by articles 1321 to 1326 of this Code.
Exchange is a contract by which the parties respectively give each other one thing for another.
The exchange takes place by consent alone, in the same way as a sale.
If one of the co-permutants has already received the thing to be given to him in exchange, and he then proves that the other contracting party is not the owner of that thing, he cannot be compelled to deliver that which he has promised in counter-exchange, but only to return that which he has received.
A co-permutant who is evicted from the thing he received in exchange has the choice of concluding to damages or repeating his thing.
Rescission on the grounds of lesion does not occur in a contract of exchange.
All the other rules prescribed for the contract of sale apply, moreover, to the exchange.
