Practice question
A contractor tenders visibly incomplete work. The client immediately and expressly objects but temporarily uses the safe completed portion to avoid business interruption. The contractor claims Article 1235 necessarily deems complete compliance solely from that use. Which is correct?
- Any use always waives every objection
- Temporary use always proves full payment
- Article 1235 requires acceptance with knowledge and without expressed protest; the express objection defeats that asserted automatic basis
- The objection is legally impossible
- The creditor must destroy useful work to preserve any claim
