Explanation of Article 154

This article clarifies the extent of due diligence required of the interloper in performing the work. It stipulates that the interloper must exercise the care of an ordinary person and is liable for damage arising from his mistake. The court may reduce the compensation if there is justification for doing so. This means that the liability of the interloper is based on presumed fault, and it can be mitigated considering the nature of his intervention.
