La. Civ. Code art. 1567
Current with changes from the 2024 Legislative Session
When a donee or his successor is obligated to return a thing and he cannot restore it in essentially the same condition as it was at the time of the donation, the donor may elect to receive the thing in its present condition and require its return. In that event, the donee shall be accountable for any diminution in value at the time of the delivery.
