Practice question
A payee honestly received an undue transfer but neither destroyed a claim document, allowed a claim to prescribe, surrendered a pledge nor canceled a guaranty. The payee merely spent the money on ordinary personal purchases and invokes Article 2162 as automatic immunity. Which response is correct?
- Any expenditure automatically satisfies Article 2162
- The asserted facts do not establish Article 2162's specified reliance-based exemption; honest receipt alone is insufficient
- The payee necessarily acquires the payer's bank account
- Article 2162 applies only to criminal fines
- Every mistake creates a valid donation
