70. Reimbursement of person paying money due by another, in payment of which he is interested

A person who is interested in the payment of money which another is bound by law to pay, and who therefore pays it, is entitled to be reimbursed by the other.

A, the owner of a holding situated within a Town Board area, allows the assessment due thereon to fall into arrear. The Chairman of the Town Board seizes movable property found on the holding with a view to its sale by public auction under the Town Boards Enactment [F. M. S. Cap. 137]. B having an interest in the movable property pays the arrear. A is bound to make good to B the amount so paid.
