Liability of intermediary possessor in the case of indirect possession

(2) Where the possessor, on gaining possession, was in good faith, they nevertheless are responsible to the owner for the damage set out in section 989 starting from the date of the acquisition to the extent that they are liable to the indirect possessor.
