Liability in the case of tort

If the possessor of the inheritance has obtained an object of the inheritance through a criminal offence or has obtained a thing that is part of the inheritance through prohibited interference, they are liable under the provisions on damages for torts. A possessor of the inheritance in good faith, however, is liable for prohibited interference under these provisions only if the heir has already actually taken possession of the thing.
