Right of redemption of a third party

(1) If the obligee effects compulsory enforcement against an object belonging to the obligor, anyone who risks losing a right in the object due to the compulsory enforcement is entitled to satisfy the obligee. The possessor of a thing is entitled to the same right if they risk losing possession due to the compulsory enforcement.

(2) Satisfaction also may be effected by deposit or by set-off.

(3) To the extent that the third party satisfies the obligee, the claim devolves to the third party. The devolution of ownership may not be asserted to the disadvantage of the creditor.
