Cap. 16 Art. 1637Where work consists of several pieces.

(1) In the case of a work consisting of several pieces or which is done by measure, the work shall remain at the risk of the artificer until the employer has examined the whole work, unless it has been agreed that the examination of each piece shall take place as soon as each piece is completed.

(2) All the pieces of the work paid for are presumed to have been examined, if the employer pays the artificer in proportion to the work performed.

(3) Such presumption, however, shall not arise, if the payments, although stipulated, or effected on the completion of one or more pieces of the work, are made on account of the whole work and without any appropriation to any particular piece of such work.
