Practice question
A local authority performs work required by health regulations after an owner fails to comply, even though the owner objects. Why may an expense obligation still arise under Article 2169?
- Only the owner’s objection determines liability
- The Code specifically imposes reimbursement for the necessary work
- A signed construction contract is always indispensable
- All regulatory work is conclusively donated
- An objection automatically repeals the regulation
