Cap. 16 Art. 1414Decrease in value of thing at time of eviction.

(1) Where, at the time of eviction, the thing sold has decreased in value or has considerably deteriorated, either through the negligence of the buyer or by irresistible force, the seller is still bound to return the full price.

(2) Where, however, the buyer has derived a benefit from the deterioration occasioned by him, the seller shall be entitled to deduct from the price a sum corresponding to such benefit.
