Explanation of Article 157
This article clarifies the nature of the relationship between the intermeddler and the beneficiary, and the obligations that arise for the beneficiary. The intermeddler is considered a representative of the beneficiary if he exercises the care of an ordinary person in performing the act, even if the desired result is not achieved. In this case, the beneficiary is required to fulfill the commitments made by the intermeddler on his behalf, compensate him for the commitments he undertook, reimburse him for necessary and beneficial expenses, and compensate him for any damage incurred due to performing the act. The article also states that the intermeddler is not entitled to a fee for his work unless it is part of his profession.
