Cap. 16 Art. 1909Depositary may not require depositor to prove ownership of thing.
Sub-title I
(1) The depositary cannot require the depositor to prove that he is the owner of the thing deposited.
(2) Nevertheless, if the depositary discovers that the thing has been lost or stolen, he must inform the person from whom it was stolen, or who lost it, of the deposit which has been made with him, allowing him a sufficient time to claim such deposit. If the person so informed fails to claim the deposit within the said time, the depositary is released by delivering the deposit to the person from whom he has received it.
