Liability in damages of the person avoiding a declaration

(1) If a declaration of intent is void under section 118, or if it is avoided on the basis of sections 119 and 120, then the declarant is to pay damages, if the declaration was to be made to another person, to that person, or failing this to any third party, for the damage that the other person or the third party suffers as a result of having relied on the validity of the declaration; but not in excess of the total amount of the interest that the other person or the third party has in the validity of the declaration.

(2) A duty to pay damages does not arise if the injured person knew the reason for the voidness or the voidability or did not know it as a result of negligence (ought to have known).
