(1) The finder may require a finder’s reward from the rightful recipient. The finder’s reward is five per cent of the value of the thing up to five hundred euros, three per cent of the value above this, and three per cent in the case of animals. If the thing is of value only for the rightful recipient, the finder’s reward is to be determined based on reasonably exercised discretion.
(2) The claim is excluded if the finder violates the duty of notification or conceals the finding on being questioned.
