This article addresses the obligations of the intermeddler. It requires him to continue the work he has begun until the beneficiary can undertake it himself, and to inform the beneficiary of his intervention as soon as he is able. This emphasizes the principle of not abandoning the work initiated by the intermeddler for the benefit of others, and the necessity of informing the beneficiary so that he can make a decision regarding this work.

An officious intermeddler shall proceed with the work he has initiated until the beneficiary is able to perform it on his own, and shall, as soon as possible, inform the beneficiary of his intermeddling.
