Set-off may be ordered by a court, even if one of the obligations, although certain, is not yet liquid or due. Unless otherwise decided, the set-off takes effect on the date of the decision.

La compensation peut être prononcée en justice, même si l’une des obligations, quoique certaine, n’est pas encore liquide ou exigible. A moins qu’il n’en soit décidé autrement, la compensation produit alors ses effets à la date de la décision.
