Practice question
During the owner’s absence, an officious manager incurs necessary expense solely to prevent an imminent and manifest loss to neglected property. All requirements of valid officious management are met, but the rescue yields no actual benefit. The owner refuses reimbursement merely because no benefit resulted and no agreement was signed. Which is correct?
- Article2150 can require reimbursement despite the absence of benefit or express ratification
- Only a signed contract can support reimbursement
- Failure of the rescue always defeats reimbursement
- The manager automatically acquires the property
- Only a criminal court can impose the duty
