(1) A person who is liable in damages is to restore the position that would exist if the circumstance obliging them to pay damages had not occurred.
(2) Where damages are payable for injury to a person or damage to a thing, the obligee may demand the required amount of money in lieu of restoration. Where a thing is damaged, the amount of money required under sentence 1 only includes value-added tax if and to the extent that it is actually incurred.
