Article 1303-4 of the French Civil Code

The impoverishment ascertained on the day of the expenditure, and the enrichment as it remains on the day of the claim, are valued on the day of the judgment. In the event of bad faith on the part of the enriched party, the compensation due is equal to the higher of these two values.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article 1303-4

L’appauvrissement constaté au jour de la dépense, et l’enrichissement tel qu’il subsiste au jour de la demande, sont évalués au jour du jugement. En cas de mauvaise foi de l’enrichi, l’indemnité due est égale à la plus forte de ces deux valeurs.
