If the obligor is obliged to compensate for the value of an object that has been destroyed during a period of default or that cannot be returned for a reason occurring during a period of default, then the obligee may demand interest on the amount to be compensated from that point in time onwards on which the determination of the value is based. The same applies if the obligor is obliged to compensate for the reduction in value of an object that deteriorates during the period of default.
