(1) The possessor may call on the owner, specifying the amount being demanded as reimbursement, to state, within a reasonable time limit determined by the possessor, whether the owner ratifies the outlays. After the expiry of the time limit, the possessor is entitled to seek satisfaction from the thing in accordance with the provisions on the sale of a pledged item, and in the case of a plot of land in accordance with the provisions on compulsory enforcement on immovable property, if the ratification is not made in good time.
(2) Where the owner denies the claim before the expiry of the time limit, the possessor may obtain satisfaction from the thing only if, following the final and binding establishment of the amount of the outlays, they have called on the owner, setting a reasonable time limit, to make a statement, and the time limit has passed; the right to satisfaction from the thing is excluded if the ratification is made in good time.
