Se la pena fu pattuita per l’inosservanza del tempo o del luogo dell’adempimento potrà essere richiesta oltre l’adempimento, finché il creditore non vi abbia espressamente rinunciato o abbia accettato l’adempimento senza riserva.
È riservata al debitore la prova che fosse in sua facoltà di recedere dal contratto dietro pagamento della pena.
