Explanation of Article 139

This article addresses what constitutes compensation and the method of its performance. It stipulates that compensation is generally assessed in money, but the court may, at the request of the injured party, decide on compensation in kind, restoration to the previous state, or order a specific action related to the harmful act. It is also permissible to rule for compensation to be paid in installments or as an annuity, and in these two cases, the court may require the debtor to provide sufficient security.
