paid by compensation


Explanation:
Ces deux arrêts de la Cour d’appel de Paris et de la Cour de cassation sont d’un grand poids. Ils peuvent paraître discutables dans leur technique parce que les héritiers, ayant payé par compensation avec leur propre créance la dette du débiteur principal, ont un recours contre ce dernier et pourraient ainsi s’enrichir

These two decisions by the Court of Appeal of Paris and the Cour de cassation carry great weight. They may seem questionable in their approach because the heirs, having paid by compensation with their own claim the debt of the principal debtor, have a remedy against the latter and might thereby be enriched at his
expense
