If, in the case of the preceding article, the thing perishes, albeit without any fault on the part of the workman, before the work has been received and without the master having been given notice to check it, the workman has no wages to claim, unless the thing perished through the defect of the material.

Article 1790

Si, dans le cas de l’article précédent la chose vient à périr, quoique sans aucune faute de la part de l’ouvrier, avant que l’ouvrage ait été reçu et sans que le maître fût en demeure de le vérifier, l’ouvrier n’a point de salaire à réclamer, à moins que la chose n’ait péri par le vice de la matière.
