Article
第 213 條

因回復原狀而應給付金錢者,自損害發生時起,加給利息。
第一項情形,債權人得請求支付回復原狀所必要之費用,以代回復原狀。
Article 213   
Unless otherwise provided by the act or by the contract, a person who is bound to make compensation for an injury shall restore the injured party to the status quo before the injury.
If the restoration of the status quo ante shall be paid in money, interest shall be added from the time of the injury.
Under the circumstances of the first paragraph, the creditor may claim the necessary expenses for restoration instead of the restoration.
