Liability in damages for reasons of equity

A person who, by reason of sections 827 and 828, is not responsible for damage they caused in the cases specified in sections 823 to 826 nonetheless is to provide compensation for the damage, unless it is possible to obtain compensation of damages from a third party with a duty of supervision, to the extent that in light of the situation given, in particular the circumstances of the parties involved, equity requires indemnification and they are not deprived of the resources needed for reasonable maintenance and to discharge their statutory maintenance duties.
