Cap. 16 Art. 411Repairstocommon wall.

(1) The repairs to a common wall or its reconstruction shall be at the charge of all those who have a right thereto in proportion to the right of each.

(2) Nevertheless, every co-owner of a wall may relieve himself of the obligation of contributing to the expense of the repairs to the said wall or of its reconstruction by waiving his right of co-ownership, provided the common wall does not support a building belonging to him.

(3) Such waiver, where competent, shall not relieve the party making it of his liability for such repairs or reconstruction as may have been occasioned by him.
