Practice question
A good-faith payee still holds a specific watch received through a proved mistaken undue delivery. No Article 2162 reliance event or other defense is established. May the payee refuse return solely by asserting honest belief at receipt?
- Yes, honest receipt necessarily transfers ownership
- No, good faith alone does not erase the ordinary duty to restore
- Yes, if the watch remains unused
- Yes, because Article 2154 applies only to bad-faith recipients
- No, because the payee must automatically pay double instead
